Vegan Chocolate Milk Shake
Almonds are blended to make my dairy-free mylk. It’s sweetened with dates, spiced with vanilla bean and raw cacao powder, then kissed with coconut oil for extra richness.

Fuzzy Navel Smoothie
A great way to enjoy whole oranges. Just blend with vanilla, and add pecans for maple-flavored creaminess. Just use the whole vanilla bean in your high speed blender, or de-seed and use only the seeds in a lower-speed blender. You can always use a Tablespoon of vanilla extract instead, but make sure it’s alcohol-free.
2 oranges, peel and seed
1 cup pecans
1/2 cup pitted dates
