My Daily Rind Journey of a Mom: Reflections on Health, Unschooling, and Love.

Hi darlings,

I have just loved my food today. I am literally slurping down the last of my shake with a straw. I encourage slurping!

Read on to get to the recipe for this magnificent shake. Not technically raw the way I did it, because I bought hemp mylk. Usually, however, I make my own mylk. This shake can be made with any mylk of your choice. By the way, I spell mylk with a “y” because I like the distinction from animal milk. Spell it however you want.

Here’s what I ate today for the record:

• 2 bananas and 1/3 cup dried blueberries drowned in sesame mylk (freshly made)
• small serving fruit cobbler from yesterday
• 2 bananas, 1 apple, and handful of almonds for lunch
• Big green salad with spirulina, tomato, mushroom, cuke, avocado, artichoke hearts, hemp seed, raisins, green onion and oil and lemon juice dressing
• Decadent Creamy Hemp Mylk Shake (recipe below)

Decadent Creamy Hemp Mylk Shake

In your Vitamix blender with a tamper blend:

About 4 cups of frozen bananas (I think this was about 4 whole bananas)
1 cup of frozen blackberries
About 1/2 cup of tahini
2 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup dates (or any sweetener you desire)
1 Tablespoon maca powder
1 Tablespoon chia seed
2 tsp spirulina
Now fill the canister with hemp mylk until it comes to about an inch from the top of the ingredients. Add more water now and as needed to allow for easier blending.

Pour a pint and sluurrrp it down with a straw!

Yum Yum,
Shawna
