Choco-Monkey, An Unmilk-Shake

This is so easy to make, and so delicious.

1. Freeze 2 bananas, peeled and broken in pieces, in the freezer overnight.
2. In the morning, put the frozen pieces in the blender.
3. Add a teaspoonful of shelled hemp seeds, a teaspoon of raw powdered cacao, and a teaspoon of agave nectar (actually, I've made it without the agave nectar, and it's just as good either way, so if you want to reduce the caloric load a bit, take out the agave.)
4. Pour in about 2/3 of a cup of filtered, cold water.

Whirl the blender until the mixture is completely smooth. it will take a few minutes. You will have to add some more water to make it pourable, but do it slowly so that you keep it as thick and creamy as possible. Just add until you can pour it.

Now drink it! It's SO delicious you cannot believe it. And good for you, too. Hemp seeds are high in protein and omega 3 and 6 fatty acids. Cacao is rich in antioxidants and trace minerals. Bananas are very high in potassium.
