Description

This frozen banana and cacao smoothie is rich, creamy and naturally sweet, made with a frozen banana, raw cacao, almond butter and a dash of cinnamon. It tastes like a chocolate milkshake and takes 5 minutes to blend.


Ingredients

Units
  • 1 cup purified water
  • 1 small frozen banana (2 small frozen halves)
  • 2 tablespoons raw cacao (raw cocoa powder)
  • 2 tablespoons almond butter
  • dash of cinnamon
  • handful of ice
  • optional: add 1 serving of high-quality, organic chocolate or vanilla protein powder if drinking post-workout

Instructions

  1. Blend all ingredients until smooth; serve cold.

Notes

Tip for your bananas: When bananas start to over-ripen, peel them, 1/2 them, then freeze them. Add them to your daily smoothies as needed for nutrients, fiber and an extra creamy texture. Another option would be 2-ingredient vegan banana ice cream. You can find that here.
