VegNews’ Recipe Club concocted this delish must-make summer recipe featuring NOW Real Food^® Organic Amaretto Monk Fruit!

Ingredients

For the Chocolate Syrup

1 tablespoon Cacao Powder, Raw & Organic

4 teaspoon oak milk

10 drops Monk Fruit Amaretto Liquid, Organic

----------------------------------------------

For the Milkshake

1 ripe banana

3 tablespoon Cacao Powder, Raw & Organic

1 tablespoon Cacao Nibs, Organic & Raw

1 tablespoon almond butter

1 cup oak milk

⅛ teaspoon cinnamon

⅛ teaspoon salt

2 cups ice

10 drops Monk Fruit Amaretto Liquid, Organic

Vegan whipped cream and cherry for garnish

Directions

For the chocolate syrup, in a small bowl, whisk cacao powder, oat milk, and amaretto liquid sweetener. Drizzle serving glass with chocolate syrup, and set aside.
Into a blender, add banana, cacao powder, cacao nibs, almond butter, oat milk, cinnamon, salt, amaretto liquid sweetener, and ice. Blend until creamy.
Pour milkshake into prepared glass. Top with whipped cream and a cherry.

Pro tips

For an even creamier smoothie, use frozen oat milk ice cubes instead of ice.
Why a ripe banana? Ripe bananas are sweeter, which makes them perfect for milkshakes.
We love the addition of cacao nibs for a subtle crunch.
