I’m a bit puzzled as to what to call this drink. I mean, it’s creamy like hot cocoa, but warming and with the zesty heat of a nightcap. And it’s made like a Warm Live Tea… Well, it’s utterly wonderful for any of those purposes.

And in fact, it’s absolutely delicious without being heated up. I wanted to guzzle the entire blenderful.

But alas, I was relegated to only a few sips. (The Marginally Raw Twenty-Somethings in the house all drank the rest of it down. )

Though this is all “raw” and non-dairy, there is no almond milk or hemp seeds or cashews added to give the creamy texture. It’s pure avocado and fresh lemon juice, with honey to off-set the wonderful tang.

A real winner. Next snow storm, make sure you have the right ingredients on hand for this one!
