👩🍳 Instructions
Step 1: Add the Liquids
Pour the almond milk and heavy cream into your blender. This creates a smooth base and helps everything blend evenly.
Step 2: Add Chocolate & Flavor
Add the cocoa powder, sweetener, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. These ingredients give the shake its rich chocolate taste and balanced sweetness.
Step 3: Boost with Healthy Fats
Add almond butter and MCT oil (or coconut oil). These healthy fats provide long-lasting energy and help keep you full.
Step 4: Add Protein (Optional)
If using protein powder, add it now. This turns your shake into a complete meal or post-workout drink.
Step 5: Blend Until Smooth
Add ice cubes and blend on high speed for 30–45 seconds until the shake becomes thick, creamy, and frothy.
Step 6: Taste & Adjust
Taste your shake and adjust sweetness or thickness. Add more sweetener, cocoa, or ice as needed.
Step 7: Serve Immediately
Pour into a chilled glass and enjoy right away for the best texture and flavor.
