Cheater’s Mexican Chocolate Almond Milk

Submitted by mersaydees

"Based on a recipe from Stephanie Tourles' book, Raw Energy. She says, “Craving something rich, creamy, and chocolaty? This quick, delicious beverage will satisfy the kid in everyone. Raw cocoa, almond butter, and cinnamon blend together to form a smooth, indulgent yet highly nutritious beverage to add zip to your day. Great poured over a bowl of muesli, too! For a spicy variation suitable for a holiday part, substitute a dash of nutmeg for the cinnamon and cocoa, and you’ve got a vegan version of raw holiday nog, sans eggs.”"
