Coconut Mocha Shake!

Hello my peeps!  I was hittin’ up a local grocery store with a built-in Starbucks and saw they got a new Coconut Mocha frappuccino and thought, “Anything you can do, I can do better.”.  Haha!  Seriously though, next time you tackle your own healthy-fied version of a tasty (but crappy) food or drink, go for it with that enthusiasm and confidence!  I headed home, whipped this up and have done so several times since!

Coconut Mocha Shake ~

1 Cup of ice

1/2 of a frozen banana, in pieces (optional, but makes a great emulsifier, bringing everything together smoothly!)

1/2 Cup of water

2 Tablespoons coconut butter (check out this post for the low down on making your own homemade coconut butter!)

1 Tablespoon of raw honey, date syrup or your sweetener of choice

3/4 Tablespoon of cacao powder

Small pinch of sea salt

Blend everything, but the ice and banana, until thoroughly combined.  Toss in the frozen goodies and blend again until smooth.  Pour in your fave glass and sprinkle with shredded coconut for bonus points!  

Happy Blending and recipe concocting my friends ~ Rory :0)
