Chocolate Kale Shake

I went to Penzeys Spices in Maplewood a couple weeks ago and bought the largest bag of high quality cocoa powder I could find. Penzeys is a great place to buy high quality spices for all purposes, however my purpose had nothing but sweet intentions :-) I would highly recommend checking them out if you need to spice up your meat and veggies or you just need a great set of salt and pepper grinders. While you are there, pick up some chocolate so you can make this delicious shake. This is an improvement on the chocolate shake I posted a couple weeks ago, mostly in that I managed to shove in another serving of veggies!

Chocolate Kale Shake:


Ingredients:
  • 1 1/2 bananas
  • 1 avocado
  • 3/4 cup frozen cherries
  • 1 1/2 cups kale, chopped and boiled
  • 2 1/2-3 cups almond milk
  • 3 tablespoons almond butter
  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoons raw organic honey
  • 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
Boil kale (without stems) about 5 minutes. Blend with the rest of the ingredients. Yields 3-4 servings.
