1 cup packed mint leaves (not the stems!)
4 brazil nuts
1 tbs. artisana coconut creme (coconut butter)
1/4 cup cacao nibs
3 cups ice cold spring water
Stevia, to taste (or your fave raw sweetener . . . but I find stevia works great in this recipe)

Blend all ingredients except for the cacao nibs. Strain if desired. Add the cacao nibs and pulse a couple of times to break them up more.

Sounded really yummy when I read this yesterday... when I got home I saw that I had none of the ingredients except for mint leaves! :o So, I tossed a frozen banana in the FP, and whirred it up with a bunch of mint leaves and some unsweetened cocoa. That was really good, too.

Anyway, why brazil nuts? What could I substitute for them? Walnuts? Macadamias? (I still have lots of mint leaves....)
