Chocolate Almond Milk

My Chocolate Almond Milk takes just 5 minutes to make and what I love about it is that you can enjoy it ice cold as a quick pick me up vitality drink or as a warm and nourishing Hot Chocolate that will enliven the senses and nourish the body, mind & soul. I like the lightness of this combination with the subtle hint of sweetness that comes from the dates and vanilla bean in the Naked Chocolat. I've also added Healthy Chef protein to make it the perfect electrolyte-rich recovery drink after exercise.
