I love green smoothies but sometimes a girl needs a little chocolate. Don’t you agree? This delicious cacao and almond smoothie is lovely and chocolaty, and packed full of goodness. It’s perfect to have when you need a healthy little chocolate treat. This smoothie satisfies, from the mood boosting antioxidant rich cacao to the powerful almond with its abundance of healthy fats and minerals. Add a little maca and cinnamon for improved mood and stabilising blood sugar. All that and it tastes really good too! csmoothie1

Raspberry and Spinach Smoothie

Breakfast, DrinksLeave a comment
I love raspberries and I love spinach, so putting them together in a smoothie sounds good to me. The vibrant red raspberry is a delicate fruit that is sweet, juicy and offers a powerhouse of numerous health benefits. This vividly coloured fruit is a rich source of nutrients, minerals and vitamins, including fibre, iron, magnesium, potassium, and zinc. Add to that the amazing health benefits of spinach. Dark leafy greens like spinach have an extremely high level nutritional value and are important for bone health, skin, hair and provide iron, anti-oxidants, vitamins and minerals.     You Will Need Bananas (peeled, in pieces and frozen)  x 2 Raspberries 1/2 Cup Chia seeds 2 Tablespoons LSA 2 Tablespoons Almonds x 8 Spinach leaves 1 cup Coconut Water 3/4  Cup (or more to your desired consistency) Ice   To Do Blitz all the ingredients in a blender and enjoy :)
