Oxy moron? I think not. I made this for my kids (and a friend of my daughter who was over) while they were busy playing so they couldn't see what I put in it. They all loved it! MWaah hahahhahaha!! (evil chuckle)
Here is the recipe--and don't get freaked out by the beans. You can't tell they're in there.
BETTER BANANA CHOCOLATE SHAKE (makes 5 cups)
By Janet Hailstone, revised from Diet For A New World by John Robbins
¼ cup raw cashews or sunflower seeds
¼ cup cooked, drained black beans
4 pitted dates
1 cup water
1 cup non-dairy milk
2 Tablespoons cocoa, cacao or carob
1 teaspoon pure vanilla (glycerin based or vanilla powder from Dixie Nutrition bulk)
2 frozen bananas (broken into thirds and stored in a Ziploc bag)
1 cup ice
Blend to smooth for about one minute the nuts or seeds, beans, dates and water. With the machine running, slowly add the non-dairy milk, carob powder, and vanilla. Add frozen bananas and blend. Then, add ice and blend briefly. (Long blending melts the shake)

Interesting...I think I'll have to try it for Millie because she is such a naughty eater! Anything to trick her into eating something healthy! Side note: Is John Robbins the son of the Robbins in "Baskin Robbins" who realized that ice cream is making everybody fat? I hear he's a health nut now.
