Iron man Chocolate Milk Shake

Glutenfree/ Raw

This smoothie is a perfect example of a recipe that could contain potentially hazardous ingredients :- 

• highly processed and chemical laden, sugary drinking chocolate 
• zero nutrient, empty calorie sugar
• Hormone, antibiotic, pus laden and acidic milk 

We’ve literally traded the above for natural, unprocessed nutrient dense ingredients and the result is that you get a power packed milk shake. Thats why I call it the IRON MAN CHOCOLATE MILK SHAKE. 

The smoothie is a delicious cocktail of :-  

• magnesium rich cacao (we use @masonandco or @urbanplatter)
• iron rich dates 
• protein rich almonds 
• Calcium rich sesame 
• Banana (not naming the nutrients here, as it just contains way too many to be fair) .

Plus the smoothie a full fibre, and lower in calories than its original counterpart.
