Energie Almond butter Banana Smoothie

Thank God it's friday! So tired after work, so lazy day..
I had too much chocolate in this week, but i was planning to make this smooth today after work since a week, and I couldn't review my plans!
It's very difficult to make a serious diet here in England; too many special chocolate bars and too many different ingredients to try! I can't go straight like this! But I love everything contains sugar..it's stronger than me!
I'll do it! For today, i'm gonna have just this! =)


Ingredients:
3/4 cup vanilla/soy milk
1 ripe banana (frozen)
3 full tablespoons of almond butter
cinnamon


Just shake a bit the milk to make it bubbling and set aside.
Shake in the mixer banana and almon butter and then add the milk and cinnamon.
Pour the mixture into the cup(s) and sprinkle with more cinnamon and some almond shaves if you want!
*You can prepare it without mixer as I did. The preparation takes longer but it's possible.
I did =)

Vandaag's Duch Eat Cocoa

This spiked spicy hot cocoa from Martim Smith-Mattsson of Vandaag can be served without alcohol for kids, too. Bols genever adds a malty backbone to the spiced hot chocolate, which makes use of cayenne, cinnamon, and ginger. At the restaurant, Smith-Mattsson uses a kaffir-maple whipped cream for a nod to Southeast Asia. He also makes use of an espresso machine to steam the milk, but any gentle method of heating will do just fine.



Ingredients
For the spicy hot cocoa mix:
110 grams Dutch cocoa
150 grams granulated sugar
30 grams powdered milk
25 grams brown sugar, broken up well
1/4 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon cayenne
3 teaspoons cinnamon
1 tablespoon powdered ginger
For each drink:
3.5 ounces whole milk
1 heaping tablespoon spicy hot cocoa mix
1/2 ounce Drambuie
3/4 ounce Bols Genever
For garnish (optional):
1 cup maple syrup
2 kaffir lime leaves
2 cups heavy cream


If you want to garnish with kaffir-maple whipped cream, put maple syrup in a sealable jar with kaffir lime leaves and infuse for 24 hours. After infusing, remove lime leaves and add maple to heavy cream. Whip with an electric mixer or in an ISI Whip canister. Whipped cream can be stored, refrigerated, overnight.
To make spicy hot cocoa mix, add Dutch cocoa, sugar, powdered milk, brown sugar, salt, cayenne, cinnamon, and ginger to a large mixing bowl. Whisk until evenly mixed.
To make drink, heat milk and spicy hot cocoa mix in a medium saucepan, whisking constantly until very hot.
Remove from heat, add Drambuie and Bols Genever. Serve in a mug with kaffir-maple whipped cream if desired =)
