It was later announced that LL Cool J would be a recurring guest in the spin-off’s upcoming third season. This development has left fans wondering if there will be more crossovers between the OSP team and the other NCIS series. R. Scott Gemmill, executive producer of NCIS: LA, discussed the possibility of future crossovers. Gemmill expressed that a crossover involving the OSP team is highly likely and mentioned that the recent three-way crossover between the NCIS shows was a significant milestone for the franchise and was glad it happened before NCIS: LA came to an end.

Even if the NCIS: LA characters don’t make appearances in either DC or Honolulu, LL Cool J’s involvement with NCIS: Hawaii opens the door for potential updates about other cast members. In the series finale of NCIS: LA, it was revealed that Kensi and Deeks are expecting a child. As the show won’t be able to depict their journey into parenthood, any updates shared by Special Agent Hanna would be eagerly welcomed by fans.

Given that Sam was previously on a mission in Morocco with Callen, there is also the possibility of Chris O’Donnell’s character making an appearance in NCIS: Hawaii. However, nothing is confirmed, and there may be delays due to a reported writers’ strike. While fans await further news, LL Cool J shared that he took some mementos from the NCIS: LA set, including Sam’s vest, shirts, and even one of Callen’s shirts, along with some knick-knacks from the boatshed.

The third season of NCIS: Hawaii is set to premiere in 2023. Although the OSP team may not be present in full, the presence of Sam Hanna in NCIS: Hawaii promises an exciting dynamic and leaves fans intrigued about how he will fit into the new series.

As a vegan, finding delicious plant-based alternatives to everyone’s favorite chocolate milkshake can feel like the ultimate mission impossible. That is all about to change thanks to Hanna Sunderani, the famous author of The Two Spoons Cookbook, and her infamous French-inspired chocolate coffee shake recipe. You heard that right! Grab your apron, and let’s get shakin’!

Chocolate Coffee Shake: The Ingredients

The secret behind this shake’s velvety smooth texture and rich taste is the mixture of oat milk, almond butter, and Medjool dates that give it a sweet and creamy finish that truly pampers the senses. Plus, the banana, oats, and espresso shot make sure to give you the right healthy boost, perfect to start your day. If you’re the kind of person that likes to skip breakfast, this shake will make it almost impossible not to fall in love with morning meals!

To Make One Shake, You’ll Need the Following Ingredients:

• 1 large frozen banana, chopped
• 1 cup unsweetened oat milk
• 1 shot espresso
• ¼ cup gluten-free rolled oats
• Vegan whipped cream
• Vegan chocolate sauce
• 1 Medjool date, pitted
• 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
• 2 tablespoons almond butter
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon
• A pinch of sea salt
• 3 to 5 ice cubes

How to Make the Shake

Grab a blender and combine the oats, frozen banana, oat milk, express shot, date, cocoa powder, almond butter, cinnamon, salt, and three ice cubes. Blend all ingredients until smooth. If you want to make your shake thicker and colder, add all five ice cubes.

Pour this chocolaty perfection into a large tall glass. Top it with vegan whipped cream and drizzle generously (no one will blame you!) with vegan chocolate sauce. Feel free to sprinkle in some shaved chocolate curls to make things extra delicious. Enjoy your shake for breakfast, dinner, and why not even a midnight snack! Except, maybe you’d want to skip the espresso shot if you’re having your shake late in the evening.
