Banana, Cocoa and Date Milkshake with Flaxseeds

BM#12: W2, Day5:  A "Bada Bing Bada Boom" Milkshake that gets you going till lunch time while keeping all the unhealthy cravings at bay. Super-yum shake that is a must try!!


For Your Ears: I was actually thinking about this song as I was making the shake. So thought I would share it..But beware this song is "slightly" risque`. But the tune is so catchy..it made me share anywayz!


Ingredients:
  • 1 "Nearly Ripe" Chiquita Banana (the one that is available all over US)
  • 5 Tunisian Dates, finely chopped
  • 1 Tbsp Bob's Red Mill Flaxseed Meal
  • 1 Tsp Cocoa Powder
  • 5-6 Tbsp Hot Water
  • 1-1/4 Cups Cold Skimmed Milk
  • Crushed Ice, as needed
Procedure:
  • Add the chopped dates and flaxseed meal to a small bowl.
  • Pour the hot water into the bowl and let it sit for about 5 minutes.
  • Slice the bananas and add to the blender along with cocoa, crushed ice, cold milk and date-flaxseed mixture.
  • Blend until the mixture is frothy.
  • Enjoy it immediately as is or with a dusting of cocoa powder on top. 
Another Chocolate-y Concoction to tickle your taste-buds..

Sending this to Srivalli's Chocolate Mela
