Raw Chocolate Milk
Brace yourselves. Your minds are about to be blown. You ready? You braced? Good.
What if I was to tell you that you can easily make chocolate milk that tastes like a frothy chocolate malt without using malt or dairy?
(Omg. This is starting to sound like an infomercial! Crap! I need a big screen projector behind me!)
Well, YOU CAN. You can make delicious chocolate milk with your blender!
(this is not an infomercial for a Vitamix cuz I don't have one. I want one though! Like really really bad.)
So this is raw chocolate milk. What makes it raw? So glad you asked! It's made with cashews that have been soaked in water! There's also cocoa nibs up in this mix which makes things extra fancy in my book. Looking to make plain vanilla cashew milk? Just omit the cocoa nibs and reduce the agave syrup. This recipe is a game changer & approved by my picky 3 year old. Winning!
Hot Vanilla Cider
In the world of beverages, this hot vanilla cider is as versatile as a little black dress. Serve it at a child's holiday party or a wintry baby shower and you have yourself a guaranteed hit. Fill up a thermos and instantly enhance your Christmas tree purchasing experience. Add whipped cream on top and you'll make an incredible liquid dessert. Spike your vanilla cider with bourbon and suddenly your little black dress turns frisky!
The problem with the frisky/boozy side of this drink is that it goes down too easy. I'm just gonna put that out there for your interpretation. I stopped at 1.5 drinks because I totally know my limits; I'm like a grownup or something.

Green Energy Shake
For some reason when I think GREEN ENERGY SHAKE, I imagine Oprah screaming it.
"Please welcome GREEEEEN ENerGYYYYY SHAAAAAAAAKE!!!!" And through the side door, the shake shuffles onto the brightly lit stage, spotlights are flashing and Oprah sweeps up the glass, pulling the straw to her mouth. She's only supposed to take a small sip because she's got a paragraph to read on the teleprompter, but she's so shocked at how good it tastes, she takes an enormous gulp. There's a pause on live TV.... and suddenly she's rocking back and forth, raising her hands to the sky, praising this healthy concoction. It's totally green, yet tastes sweet & refreshing! She surprised how good the dates make it! "Hallelujah," she screams!
YOU. CAN. BLEND. KAAAAAALE!
Quick someone write a book about it, cuz it's totally going on the book club!
