Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups filtered water divided: 1/4 in saucepan, 3/4 in blender
  • 1/2 medium ripe avocado just under 1/2 cup diced into 1/2-inch pieces at 1x
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons homemade unsweetened vanilla extract no added sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon plain unflavored gelatin no additives
  • 2 tablespoons cold-pressed raw honey base amount; adjust to taste
  • 2 tablespoons additional cold-pressed raw honey for cocoa mixture
  • 2 tablespoons pure organic cocoa powder unsweetened and no additives
  • sea salt a sprinkle (optional)

Equipment

  • Small stainless steel saucepan for cocoa, additional honey, and dissolved gelatin
  • Blender with lid opening for adding dissolved cocoa-gelatin mixture

Method
 

  1. Pour one quarter of the measured water into a small stainless-steel saucepan. Whisk in the measured pure organic cocoa and measured additional raw honey until the powder is wetted. This is a thin brown mixture, not the finished milk.

  2. Sprinkle the measured plain unflavored gelatin over the cocoa mixture. Heat and stir for about 2 minutes until the gelatin dissolves and the surface turns lightly foamy. Set aside.
  3. Put the remaining three quarters of the measured water, the diced avocado, homemade unsweetened vanilla, measured base raw honey, and optional sea salt in the blender. Secure the lid.
  4. Blend on medium-high for 20 seconds until the avocado is smooth and no pieces remain.
  5. With the motor still running, carefully pour the cocoa-gelatin water through the blender lid opening. Blend 10 seconds more, until the color is even with no dry cocoa pockets or green streaks.

Notes

GAPS placement: Later Full GAPS only, after digestive symptoms have gone. Pure organic cocoa, unsweetened and without additives; not for GAPS Introduction.
The two honey lines are additive: 2 to 3 tablespoons base honey plus 2 tablespoons extra in the saucepan, for 4 to 5 tablespoons total at 1x. The 1/2 cup saucepan water is part of the measured 2 cups. Serve now or chill covered; the milk thickens slightly when cold.

Scaling equivalents: At 1x, use 1/2 cup water in the saucepan and 1 1/2 cups in the blender; at 2x, use 1 cup and 3 cups. The base raw honey scales from 2 tablespoons at 1x to 4 tablespoons at 2x; adjust only within the source's stated range.
