Cacao Smoothie
This creamy cacao smoothie tastes like a chocolate shake but is loaded with healthy ingredients including frozen banana, cacao powder and cacao nibs.
Servings: 1 smoothie
Equipment
Ingredients
- ¾ cup unsweetened almond milk or oat milk
- 1 frozen banana
- ¾ cup frozen blueberries
- 1 Tablespoon almond butter or other nut butter
- 1 Tablespoon cacao powder
- 1 Tablespoon cacao nibs
- 3 cubes of ice
Instructions
- Place all ingredients into a high-powdered blender and blend until smooth.
- Taste and adjust ice or liquid amounts if needed. Pour into a glass and top with additional cacao nibs, if desired and enjoy!
Notes
- No banana? You can still make this smoothie without banana. Ice is the best swap for texture, but you can also use frozen cauliflower rice, zucchini, milk ice cubes, or even avocado. Just note that you’ll likely need to add extra sweetener like a date or a splash of maple syrup to balance the flavor.
- Storage: This smoothie is best enjoyed right away, but if you need to save it, store in an airtight glass container in the fridge and drink within 24 hours. Give it a good shake or re-blend before serving.
