This one is for my little friend Tess who is trying a new “dairy free” way of living! I think she is going to find it really is NOT so bad and with yummy little finds like those from my Vegan Super Star Ani Phyo life will taste better than ever! Go Tess!

Chocolate Mylk Shake
makes 4 servings
This is my recipe for the raw food vegan Chocolate Mylk Shake I made for Andrew Zimmern on the LA episode of Bizarre Foods. Almonds are blended to make my dairy-free mylk. It’s sweetened with dates, spiced with vanilla bean and raw cacao powder, then kissed with coconut oil for extra richness.
Holy cow, you won’t believe this is dairy-free, cruelty-free, sugar-free, guilt-free, vegan, vegetarian, raw food, good for you and the planet. Live green.
- 1 cup almonds
- 1/2 cup pitted dates
- 1/2 vanilla bean, or 1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract, alcohol free
- 2 tablespoons cacao powder
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil, liquid
- 3 cups water
Place all ingredients in your high speed blender, and blend until smooth.
