Description

Can't decide between chocolate and vanilla? You don't even have to make that tuff decision, simply make this recipe that fuses those two worlds together quite decadently! Coconut milk and ice blends with real tahitian vanilla bean, omega 3 rich chia seeds, a few drops of liquid stevia, and a generous drizzle of raw chocolate syrup. Try also adding a little mint leaf or organic mint extract to the blender for a cooling mint flavor explosion!

6-8 Ice Cubes

Sweetener to Taste (I used about 10 drops of NuNaturals Liquid Stevia)

Pinch of Sea Salt

1 Tbs. Raw Cacao Powder (or Cocoa Powder)

2 Tsp. Agave

1 1/2 Tsp. Water
