Remember those rich chocolatey milkshakes you drank as a kid? I loved them! However, typical milkshakes contain high amounts of sugar and fat. Sure they can be tasty, but they are not health promoting! It’s possible to enjoy this childhood treat without all the unnecessary calories, sugar and fat. With some experimenting in the kitchen, I made a super creamy UNmilkshake!It may seem strange to add avocado to a shake, but this heart healthy power packed fruit makes this UNmilkshake super creamy. Not to mention, it adds a healthy dose of potassium, folate, B6,and vitamin C! I swapped chocolate for delicious raspberries, which give this power packed shake an antioxidant boost. They also contain a high amount of flavonoids, such as quercetin and anthocyanins- great for keeping your immune system strong! DO attempt to make this at home 😉
Raspberry UNmilkshake
Ingredients:
2 cups unsweetened almond milk
1 cup water (optional depending on how thick you like your shake)
1 cup frozen organic raspberries
Half an avocado
1 tsp organic vanilla extract or ground vanilla bean
2 scoops vanilla protein powder (whey or brown rice protein would work best)
Blend all ingredients together in a high speed blender. Enjoy!
