Cacao Goodness

This smoothie is great for when you are craving chocolate or something sweet and cold. All those ingredients are actually really good for your body!

Recipe:

½ cup of homemade almond milk –  best alternative to regular milk 

1 extra ripe banana - excellent source of potassium and energy

½ an avocado – excellent source of fat (this is what makes it creamy, you will not feel the taste of it in the smoothie)

3 pitted dates – excellent source of fiber and natural sweetener

2tsp Raw Cacao – full of antioxidants

1tsp Manuka Honey – has natural antibacterial properties

1tsp of any nut butter (I used pure hazelnut) – good fat and energy source

A few ice cubes

Blend everything in the food processor (make sure there are no avocado lumps left) and enjoy your smoothie!

I usually drink half a glass and then pour the rest in small Popsicle molds for my kids to enjoy the next day :D
