Some like it hot: Devil’s food shake

There’s something daring about the idea of chill and chocolate which excites the brain. Walking past Bean Bar on the way to the gym they have a poster which says “chilli hot chocolate, do you dare?”. I like a challenge. When someone says ‘you can’t eat xxx, can you?”, the stubborn girl in me fires up. It was the same with this poster, except it triggered a great supershake idea.

Devil’s Food Shake

  • 1 cup chocolate tea
  • 1 teaspoon cocoa powder
  • 1 scoop chocolate protien powder (ladybird rice for me)
  • 1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder (makes it creamy)
  • 1 teaspoon maca powder
  • 1 1/2 cup chopped beetroot leaves
  • 2 small plums
  • a dash of cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon chilli powder

Make the tea and whisk in the cocoa. Allow to cool slightly so the protein powder doesn’t clump and blend with remaining ingredients.

    like we said on the forum, at least comp prep can never take garlic away from us- its been my weapon to staying flu-free too! :) sounds like you got some great motivation from the WNBF show, are you considering training for physique down the track? impressive goal. i feel like i need another 10years training to be a solid figure competitor, damn these long limbs!
