Chocolate Milk from Real Food Raw World


Delicious!

Now my children will grow up knowing how the most delicious chocolate milk tastes, without the dairy and artificial sweeteners. First make the VANILLA BRAZIL NUT MILK, and then add more agave and cocoa powder. See recipe below.

VANILLA BRAZIL NUT MILK from Raw Food Real World

1 cup raw Brazil Nuts, soaked 2 hours or more
4 cups filtered water
¼ cup agave nectar or raw honey
2 tablespoons coconut butter
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon lecithin (optional)
2 packets stevia (optional)
Pinch of sea salt

In a Vita-Mix or high-speed blender, blend the nuts and water on high speed for about 2 minutes, making sure the nuts are thoroughly blended. Strain the milk through a nut milk bag or multiple layers of cheesecloth twice for smoothness. Rinse the blender cup and place the milk back in it with the remaining ingredients. Blend to combine thoroughly and taste for sweetness.

To make CHOCOLATE MILK add 3 heaping tablespoons of organic cocoa powder or carob powder, plus an additional packet of stevia or tablespoon of agave, to the blender along with the strained milk and other ingredients.
