Ingredients
4 oz full fat coconut cream or milk – To make EXTRA creamy, freeze your coconut cream

8 oz almond or unsweetened coconut drinking milk
2 tbsp cocoa powder
dash of sea salt
1/2 tbsp creamy almond butter or sunflower seed butter
Optional add ins to sweeten it – berries, stevia leaf or xylitol, cinnamon, banana or maple syrup for
extra sweetness (banana and maple syrup will add additional carbohydrates but still VERY nutrient
dense and healthy)
Preparation

fed collagen protein or vegan protein powder of choice.
MCT oil to add if desired. (if you add extra coconut oil, be sure to consume right away so the shake
doesn’t get clumpy).
Notes
This makes 2 smaller, very filling shakes or 1 large nutrient dense chocolate shake.
This shake is rich, but not sweet if you don’t add a sweetener. Erythritol or a Xylitol sweetener like
Swerve are diabetic friendly. Or you can add stevia.
If you don’t care about carbohydrate intake, feel free to add in banana and/or maple syrup.
To lighten it up, replace the coconut cream with almond milk (unsweetened) or coconut drinking
milk. Still add in the MCT oils or melted coconut oil.
This shake can also be heated to make a creamy LOW CARB Creamy HOT CHOCOLATE.
