I left a comment on your Youtube channel, but just had to take a moment to share my opinion about this beverage here. OHHHHHH my goodnesssss, this is sooooooo D E L I C I O U S that I now make a cup of it every morning. One morning we were out of bananas and I tried it without them. The banana really gives this amazing beverage a robust element.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful creation.

Thanks JoAnne! Yes, you left a comment on the youtube channel and I absolutely loved it! and I replied there only..:)

I am thrilled that you love this recipe so much and have it everyday. And you are right that without the banana, it is a miss! and BIG TIME! It is like having a pound cake without the vanilla! NOT cool.

Banana gives it that warm and filling taste...that no other fruit or ingredient can fulfill. On 'paw' note, I am going to let my little Nibi know that she has another banana lover! My little Nibi, my 1-yr old puppy, eats 2 bananas each day! NO kidding! LOL. -Somyata.

Can I substitute peanut butter or tahini for the cacao butter? Can’t find it where we live

Yes! Definitely! Go for it even though it will not be the same recipe or taste. In that case, you are better off with my Hot Chocolate recipes. Check them out and I think you will be easily able to make them and you will really enjoy them. -Somyata
