Author Notes
I love vanilla. It is one of those flavors I could not live without. It is also a flavor I must buy organic in my little imaginary set of food rules. Im fairly certain artificial vanilla is made of wood chips. Not too appetizing. I actually hate when people acuse vanilla of being bland. It is very bold! And not to everyone's liking which basically means it is NOT bland.
This snack/drink is great after a workout or just for the hell of it. There is no dairy in it but you won't miss it. —DUZE @BakingBackwards

Ingredients
- Basic Vanilla Shake
-
1
peeled frozen banana (or more if you like your shake thick)
-
1 teaspoon
organic vanilla extract OR the seeds of one vanilla pod
-
1 pinch
organic cinnamon
-
1/2 pinch
sea salt
-
1 cup
vanilla rice milk (I use Natura)
- Optional Add Ins (add one of these ingredients to change up your shake)
-
2 teaspoons
organic cocoa powder (100%), I recommend adding a touch of maple syrup if you like sweetness as the cocoa is bitter)
-
1/2 cup
frozen black raspberries or wild blueberries
-
1 tablespoon
organic peanut butter
-
1 handful
fresh mint and 1 tsp cocoa and 2 squares good chocolate
Directions
-
Blend the ingredients of Part 1 in a high speed blender. Enjoy in a tall glass.
-
If using any of the optional add-ins, blend your add-in of choice in a high speed blender with part 1's ingredients. If using the frozen fruit, I suggest adding the berries after blending the rest of the ingredients and just pulsing them in to marble the drink. Enjoy.
