3 cups filtered water

6 tbl raw cacao powder
3 tbl LSA
1 tbl pure coconut oil
3 tbl maca powder
1/4 cup agave syrup

To make Almond Milk

Pulse almonds until just fine. Add water and process further until milk forms. Use as is or strain through a fine sieve. For an even smoother consistency, strain through cheesecloth, squeeze and drain. (Use pulp in other recipes).

Pour milk into blender. Add other ingredients and blend until well combined.

Drink immediately.

NB: Rice or soymilk may be substituted for the Almond milk.
