Healthy Chocolate Milkshake

Who says that cravings have to be unhealthy? Years ago when I was pregnant, I had serious chocolate milkshake cravings for about a week. Luckily, this recipe did the trick without any nutritional backlash like crashing energy, skin breakouts, or sugar cravings.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup whole raw cow’s milk (or milk alternative of choice such as coconut or almond)
• 1/4-1/2 cup heavy cream (or coconut cream)
• 2 T grass-fed collagen hydrolysate (to support blood sugar balance, healthy hair/skin/nails/connective tissue/bones)
• 1.5 T raw cacao powder
• 6 drops liquid chocolate stevia (plain or vanilla stevia is also delicious!)
• Ice (3/4 cup)
• A delicious option is to add a small, barely ripe banana to this mixture. If you don’t tolerate carbs well, leave it out.

Mix in a blender and enjoy!
