Moving on. To my period. (I promise I will eventually connect this all to the recipe). I have to celebrate my feminine fertility whenever this time of the month rolls around, because it's pretty freaking awesome that us ladies have a human-making system in our uterus', and when I research menstruation (yeah... I do that), I just get really excited and intrigued about what is going on in my body. Having said that, it doesn't change the fact that for 5-7 days every month I basically just roll around moaning and crying for no reason like a depressed bipolar beached whale... plus blood. But at least the weather is nice so I can groan and lay around in the sunshine, and I've got a sweet boyfriend who's gonna massage my bod later tonight. Until then I will just have to keep trying to do it myself... and keep failing. Have you ever attempted to give yourself a back massage? There's a reason humans are social animals: IT'S ALL FOR THE BODY RUBS, GUYS.
So I'm in whiny hormonal hopeless whale mode today and all I want is copious amounts of vegan mac and cheese - it's happening tonight, I am so glad I was smart enough to buy an organic butternut squash the other day - and more of that incredible, better-than-Nutella magic. Therefore I created a milkshake that is essentially just diluted Nutella. Obviously I love you so I made it healthy. Let's drink.
THE HEALTHY NUTELLA MILKSHAKE
4 frozen bananas
1 tablespoon cacao powder
1 tablespoon Prana's organic hazelnut butter
6 Medjool dates
2-3 cups nut milk or water
Blend it all up, adding as much or as little liquid as you want. Uggghhh yessss.

Brilliant; I'll be needing some of that in a few days! I do find home made butters beat anything you can buy in a jar though- maybe because of the freshness that you can't get from bought food?
Hazelnut butter makes any chocolate-y thing 10 times more decadent and this doesn't look like an exception!
YES! Haha, you always make me laugh. But seriously, thanks for talking about periods on your blog. People always act as if it's a disgusting thing that should be hidden but I say TALK ABOUT IT and if it makes the boys cringe, well at least that's my entertainment for the day sorted.
That hazelnut butter looks so runny!! I've bought some before and made my own but it's never this runny.
Haha yeah that reminds me of a few months ago when i had gotten raw almond puree for Christmas, and even though i was trying to eat low-fat i could NOT resist the heavenly taste of the frickin almond puree, and it was gone within two weeks. did i mention, it was a HUGE 2 pound bucket o_o i could just spoon it away like that... it was just soo good! :D well, i guess once in a while a little healthy fat is good for you, right? i usually eat low-fat though. only carrots and kale and other fat-soluble vitamins i consume with some fat like nuts, shredded coconut or avocado.
anyways, enough with the rambling - your milkshake looks great :)

Bummer! They only ship to Canada. I've used Gem butter which is so so delicious but has added sugar. Was hoping to try this with NO sugar.
This looks so good! I loved Nutella as a vegetarian, and I miss that taste- this looks like it will be delicious! Thanks!

Ha! Love, Love, Love this post! My everyday cravings are chocolate, but my period cravings are totally salt. Hence so many popcorn creations;) Keep on inspiring, lady <3
Wow, wow, wow. Congratulations Emily- you've converted me to milkshakes! X
How many servings is this, because as it is made, it has 107 grams of sugar in the recipe--whole foods or not, that's a lot of sugar for those of us who can't do sugar well.
@Mee Shell - This will make 2 servings, or 4 small ones. If it's too much sugar, take out some dates and use stevia instead :)
This sounds yummy. Thanks for posting up this recipe.
