Place all ingredients into a blender, blend all together and go. For more Protein add in 1-2 tbsp grass fed collagen protein or vegan protein powder of choice.

Notes

This makes 2 smaller, very filling shakes or 1 large nutrient dense chocolate shake.
This shake is rich, but not sweet if you don’t add a sweetener. Erythritol or a Xylitol sweetener like Swerve are diabetic friendly. Or you can add stevia.
If you don’t care about carbohydrate intake, feel free to add in banana and/or maple syrup.
To lighten it up, replace the coconut cream with almond milk (unsweetened) or coconut drinking milk. Still add in the MCT oils or melted coconut oil.
This shake can also be heated to make a creamy LOW CARB Creamy HOT CHOCOLATE.
