Ingredients

• 1/2 cup full-fat premium coconut milk
• 1/2 cup ripe avocado, peeled and deseeded
• 1/2 cup filtered water
• 1/2 cup ice
• 3 Tbsp. raw cacao powder
• 2 Tbsp. lakanto, or other lower sugar sweetener (stevia works too!)
• 1 Tbsp. lucuma powder
• 1 Tbsp. cacao nibs
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 2 drops food-grade peppermint essential oil
• Pinch of mineral salt to enhance the flavor
• 1 tsp.Medicinal Mushroom Powder for an extra mood and mineral enhancer

Instructions

1. Blend all ingredients in a blender until smooth.
2. Serve with coconut whip cream and coconut flakes (colored with beet powder for red + spirulina for green)

Notes:

We love sneaking in superfoods in beverages, especially medicinal mushrooms. Our blends work so well with chocolate! Our favorite blend is the 5 Mushroom Blend.

We also used Lakanto as our safe, sugar-free, keto-approved sweetener but stevia works well in here too. If you're not following a keto diet or aren't trying to avoid sugar, you could use coconut sugar or maple syrup in this.
