Coconut, Banana & Raw Chocolate Shake

There’s a number of anti aging shakes and smoothies you can make at home but below you will find the Coconut, Banana & Raw Chocolate Shake – one of the most popular – according to online forums and blog posts.

It is also nutritious and delicious and does not necessarily represent a longevity shake, but can also be used as a protein shake or a way to get your daily nutritional fix.

Coconut, Banana & Raw Chocolate Shake:

• A Banana
• 1 cup of Thai coconut milk
• 1 tablespoon omega 3 oil
• 1 tablespoon of raw cacao powder
• 1 scoop of brown rice
• 1 tablespoon un-toasted wheat germ
• 1 teaspoon probiotic powder
• Pinch of cinnamon
• Coconut flesh
• 1 teaspoon of raw honey
• Dash of sea salt

Blend to your desired consistency. Some additional ice or coconut milk can be added depending on how thick or light you may like it.

Anti-Aging Benefits:

Banana’s contain the highest source of vitamin B6 which is used in the production of blood hemoglobin. They provide 16% of your required daily fiber intake. High in vitamin C, potassium, magnesium, they contain tryptophan which is a mood enhancer.

Oh, they are also inexpensive and taste great!

Coconut milk contains nearly 50% of the fatty acid is lauric acid, a component of human breast milk. Coconut milk increases your metabolism, boosts your thyroid glands, improves your hearts health,  promotes weight-loss, benefits your skin and supports your immune system.

Raw cacao is a well known super-food. It consists of  iron, vitamin C,  magnesium, chromium and powerful anti-oxidants.

While acai berries or blueberries are touted as containing the highest amount of anti oxidants by weight loss manufacturers and marketers – this is not the case.

Raw cacao powder tops the anti oxidant pyramid with a whopping 621 anti oxidants in comparison to blueberries 30 odd.

Anti oxidants protect your collagen – what keeps your skin firm and youthful, and promotes cell restructure.
