Chocolate Banana Shake

Recipe by Deirdre Imus, The Imus Ranch: Cooking for Kids and Cowboys

I recommend using all organic non GMO ingredients.

Chocolate and banana make a classic combination. Here we use it to create a quick and sweet shake that's just as delicious as any you've had at the soda shop.

Preparation time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:

2     Cups nondairy chocolate ice cream or ice cream of your choice
2     Cups sliced banana
1     Cup rice milk or organic milk
1     Cup ice
1/2  Cup grated coconut
1/2  Cup pureed raspberry

Directions:

Combine all the ingredients except the raspberry puree in a blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Pour into glasses and top with puree.

Makes 3-4 servings
