Men, you may need to skip this post or if you have a woman in your life, read on because this post is GOLD.
Before I dive into this I need to mention one thing, the best part about this chocolate milkshake recipe is that it’s completely healthy for you! Yes, you read that right, HEALTHY. Put yo hands up!!! ?
I know so many women who suffer some form of hormonal change right before menstruation. This could result in feeling hot, irritable, bloating, and/or of course craving all the salty and sweet foods a person can ask for.
I’ve actually found NLP and training the unconscious mind to be immensely helpful when it comes to reprogramming your brain on the expectancy of PMS but that is a whole other (possibly series) of post for another day.
Today, I wanted to share with you a recipe that I love to indulge in even if I’m not craving a milkshake because it’s THAT good.
The recipe:
- 2-3 ice cubes
- 1 cup almond milk or milk of choice
- 2 tablespoons of pure cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon of raw cacao nib for an extra chocolatey punch
- Sweetener of choice such as dates, honey, agave, etc. but purely optional
- Stevia to taste (just make sure you put enough sweetener whether stevia or caloric based into this shake, indulge a little!)
- 1/2 and avocado (yes this is what makes it SO creamy plus it’s full of magnesium!)
- Adaptogens or other garnish to taste. You can put in your favorite adaptogens such as rhodiola or ashwaganda without it distorting the flavor, OR you can add in cinnamon and turn it into a Chocolate Horchata Milkshake!
I don’t know about you but just writing about this is making me want one RIGHT NOW and I just had one a few hours ago 😉
I hope you have access to these ingredients right now, I guarantee you it will satisfy. Enjoy and happy craving busting!
In wellness,
Susan
