Pumpkin Spice Yam Shake (NSNG)
O-M-G!
I threw this thick shake together using some ingredients I had in my freezer and fridge and it turned out sooo thick, creamy and delicious that I must post the recipe!
Some of the ingredient amounts are estimates because I didn’t measure them all precisely.
INGREDIENTS
1 medium yam, baked, peeled and frozen
1/2 banana, frozen
3 T full fat coconut milk
~3 T canned pumpkin
~2 oz firm tofu
~2/3 C non dairy milk
big sprinkle cinnamon
small sprinkle nutmeg
small sprinkle ground clove
Blend in your Vitamix blender and enjoy!

Tonight I just couldn’t “shake” my craving for something sweet- in particular, chocolate ice cream.
Problem:
No ice cream in the house.
Solution:
My Vitamix blender and some healthy ingredients that I always have on hand.
INGREDIENTS
3 frozen 1/2 bananas
1 pitted date
2 T cocoa powder
1 C non-dairy milk (use 3/4 C for a thicker shake)
1/2 t vanilla extract
Blend ingredients well in a high powered blender. An ordinary blender won’t do! Freeze for 10 minutes in a tall glass before serving. Makes a single serving.
This is waaay better than what you get at McDonalds!! But for some reason, I had a memory of the old chocolate shakes I used to drink there…a very, very long time ago.
