Because you can. I’m giving you permission.
This makes a perfect blender batch for 1 person. If you’re feeding 2 mouths, just run the blender twice, like I did.
I really don’t think any more needs to be said. No one needs twisting their arm when it comes to chocolate shakes.
Make sure you check out the nutritional stats though – they are impressive!
The other plus to making this for dinner is there are way less dishes to wash. For someone without a dishwasher, this made tonight even more awesome. That’s what I said.

This looks absolutely delicious!! Is that your preference for raw cacao? I’m sure I could find some around here…any other recommendations?
Regular old chocolate baking powder would be great too! xo
Seems like a great way to kick off my solo evening tonight…
Heck Yeah! <3
I make a very similiar milkshake using carob powder. One of my family’s favourite meals!
Yum! <3
Hey there!
I really enjoy this shake but I find it gives me hip and stomach aches:/ I was thinking it’s either the amount of potassium from the cocoa & bananas or just the dates themselves? at first thought the bananas we’re not ripe enough…Has anyone experienced this as well?
Hi Lisa – Sorry for the late reply. I’m not sure. I would try this at breakfast on an empty stomach and see if it still upsets your stomach. Sometimes (and I haven’t figured out what I’ve eaten prior) I find a smoothie of all bananas upsets my stomach, kind of like gas pains, but it’s because I’ve had it later in the day after another meal. I don’t think it’s a potassium thing, more of a order of eaten issue.
