A cold, chunky chocolate influenced energy elixer that has strong undertones of passion. Best if this is made without coconut water as it gives it a “too sweet” taste that defeats its rich, spice heavy, ingredient list. Albeit incredibly simple and easy to make, this will keep you moving all day long!

Ingredients

3 medjool dates
1 tablespoon wildcrafted cacao
1 tablespoon wildcrafted maca root
1 tablespoon raw power powder (green)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon organic vanilla flavoring (or beans from one vanilla pod)
6 ice cubes
Water
Sweetener of choice (agave, yacon, honey)

Recipe Directions

1. Pit dates and place in a Vita-Mix.

2. Pour a heaping tablespoon of cacao powder over top, follow with a slightly more conservative tablespoon of David Wolfe's “Maca Power”, or simply use Maca Root. Then follow with a heaping tablespoon of raw power powder (the green kind)...I suppose you could substitute any hemp/protein power powder, but raw power gives it the signature coffee taste!

3. Sprinkle with cinnamon, add vanilla then put about 5 or 6 ice cubes, and cover with just enough water, maybe 10mm over top of ice.

4. Blend till chunky. Enjoy.

QT, David Wolfe's Maca Power (Not 100% sure on the "wildcraft" of it), or Alissa Cohen, which is wildcrafted. It is truly an essential addition to any diet, as it supplies a large amount of hemp protein!

Waterbaby, I've been loving raw food for two years give or take. It couldn't be anything but at this point.
