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!
You Will Need:
2 tablespoons of cacao
2 tablespoons of cacao coconut yoghurt (optional)
1 banana (peeled, cut into pieces and frozen)
1 medjool date
A small handful of almonds
1 cup of almond milk
½ a teaspoon of maca
½ a teaspoon of vanilla extract
½ a teaspoon of cinnamon
What To Do:
- Pop everything in your blender and blitz until well blended.
- Top with whatever you fancy. I used blueberries and shredded coconut.
- Makes 1 large or two small glasses.
