Sugar-Free Chocolate Milkshake for the Morning!

Sugar-Free Chocolate Milkshake for the Morning! It’s the morning. You’re looking for nutritious options to feed your body and soul to carry you through the first half of the day. If you look at traditional breakfast options, they are undoubtedly laced with way too much sugar.  Many cereals are nothing more than sugar and salt. Pastries? Well that options present saturated fats with chemicals, “fake” butter and, of course, tons of sugar disguised with other names. And then there are breakfast meats that are full of unhealthy fast and processed additives. So why not “shake” things up tomorrow morning? Try a sugar-free chocolate milkshake!  Yep! This is an amazing breakfast shake that is creamy, chocolaty and great for you to start your day with. It has greens, almonds, nuts, chia seeds, and raw caco powder. A brain boosting,  natural sugar balancing and superfood fueling breakfast option that offers enough protein without the fatty meats. Have I mentioned this shake is PERFECT for Vegans? And it’s dairy-free! What I love about this option is the for those of have nut restrictions. Consider using sunflower butter. Sunflower seeds are a good source of protein, fiber, vitamin E, zinc and iron and they have alpha-tocopherols, reduce  the risk of certain types of cancers. Plus I incorporated a slew of SUPERFOODS to supersize the benefits of this shake to supply you with the “jet-fuel” you need to run your machine (your body) that are sugar-free, clean and  pretty darn powerful! So, sweeten up breakfast with one of the healthiest drinks you can…  my Breakfast Chocolate Shake. By the way, I’m actually giving you 2 recipes. The second recipe has alot more heart and brain-healthy fats and plant based protien. Both are really yummy! Did I mention…. these 2 chocolate shakes make sensational dessert substitutions that are guilt-free? Absolutely…! Who knew you could start and end your day in such a delicious way.  

Here’s What You’ll Need for your Morning Sugar-Free Chocolate (non-dairy) Milkshake:

– 1-2 big handful of your favorite organic greens – 2 -3 tsp. raw cacao powder – 1+ Tbsp. almond or sunflower butter  OR 1 handful of nuts ( I like to use walnuts) – ¼ cup gluten-free rolled oats – 1 tsp. cinnamon – 1 tsp. macca root powder – 1 tsp. of chia seeds – 2 pitted Medjool dates, pitted – 8 oz. culinary coconut milk or canned coconut milk and 1/2 cup water* * or substitute 1 cup almond milk for coconut milk if you prefer – 1 cup of ice  – 1-2 drops of CPTG doTERRA Peppermint Essential Oil (this is optional but definitely worth trying out!) Need more protein? Add a scoop of your favorite vegan vanilla protein powder!  Directions: Place all ingredients into a high-speed blender and lend for 30-45 seconds. Pour into glasses and enjoy! OR… store in a mason jar and take along on the way to work. Keep in mind, the chia seeds will make this smoothie thicker over time, just add cold water to re-create desired consistency.
