Raw {ish} Mint Chocolate Chip Milkshakes

I've been eating raw {mostly} for a full week,

and I feel AMAZING!

My energy level has increased dramatically and I feel so refreshed!

It's been great,

but it doesn't mean I don't crave chocolate every once in a while

{or every day...but who's keeping track?}

So, I started whipping up this recipe {from this book} on those nights when I secretly wish I could have an embarrassingly large bowl of chocolate peanut butter ice cream.

It's not the exact same, but I mean, come on. We're talking eating raw here.

Here goes!

First, gather your ingredients

• 2 frozen bananas - and, unless you want to start a war with the banana, peel it before you freeze it. Learned that one the hard way.
• 1 cup almond milk
• 5-6 squares of Green & Black's or Dagoba 70% dark chocolate bar
• A few sprigs of fresh mint {I happen to have this growing all over my front yard for some reason...}
• A blender

Slice up the bananas and mint - mostly so your blender doesn't die trying to puree them.

Place the mint, bananas and almond milk in the blender and puree that bad boy up!

I did a little taste test at this point...I suggest you do too.

Mine wasn't mint-y or chocolate-y enough...yeah, big surprise.

So I added a little more of each,

and blended again.

Pour into glasses and Voila!

{this recipe made about 2 1/2 glasses this size}

It's no chocolate peanut butter,

but it's good, and curbs the craving,

so it serves it's purpose.

Not to mention I don't feel insanely guilty after eating it.

Try it.

Tell me what you think,

and share some raw food recipes with me if you have any :)
