Sounds gorgeus but I don't like almonds but I'd try it if there was some booze in it!!!

its really yummy. i don't like bananas in shakes but you couldnt taste the banana in this one. maybe because of the almond milk. =)

This is okay. Dh and I found it rather strong. We made replaced the carob with cocoa and used only 1 Tbsp. Next time were leaving out the cocoa entirely. Really watch the maple syrup. Just a bit will do.

7/17/05 - Nothing like fresh almond milk! Its enough for two servings. I didn't have the patience to wait for the almond milk to chill since I had it for breakfast, so I used only 1 cup of water and the rest ice to chill it a bit. I didn't have carob powder on hand, so I used pure cocoa powder. I didn't find the amount too strong at all. I added more cocoa. and I used half molasses and half maple syrup. Very nice and filling.

I just can't stomach bananas. What can I substitute in all these shake recipes?

You could also use avocado, if you don't mind the funny colour the shake will be.

Thanks! I will try the tofu first...I like avocado but I'm just not sure I'm up to the odd color today
