Here's what you need:
- Ice cubes 6-8
- Bananas 4
- Blackberries (frozen) 2 cups
- Raspberries (frozen) 1 cup
- Ginger Root 1" knob, grated
- Açaí Powder 1 teaspoon
- Carob Powder 1 tablespoon
- Shredded Coconut 2 tablespoons
- Full-Fat Organic Canned Coconut Milk 2/3 cup
- Pure Organic Maple Syrup 1/4 cup
- Water 1 cup
Throw everything in a large blender (ice in first!), and blend the hell out of it. Pour, sprinkle with a pinch of extra coconut shreds, serve & enjoy! Remember, if you like a thicker consistency, peel, break into chunks, and freeze your bananas first (I like to keep a bag of them on hand for when the mood strikes).
When February rolls around, it seems, we're bombarded with decadent desserts, and chocolate everything at every turn. For those of us who can't participate in the month long cacao-love-in, I've created a faux-chocolate treat we can spoil ourselves with. Make a batch for you and your sweetheart, and help them warm up afterwards!
