Start the day with a little chocolate! We were inspired by Love & Lemons Chocolate Almond Breeze Smoothie, but instead of chocolate almond milk, with 20 grams of sugar from evaporated cane juice, we make an easy upgrade. Our version uses raw cacao, which is a natural supply of antioxidants and fiber, and one of the highest sources of magnesium. For those of you taking a Vitamin D supplement, you need magnesium too!
CHOCOLATE BANANA ALMOND SMOOTHIE
Recipe – Makes 2:
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
2 tablespoons raw cacao
1 banana, I like using a frozen banana to make it frothier
1-2 teaspoons of cinnamon to taste
Mix all ingredients in the blender. if you are not using a frozen banana, add a little ice to make it cold. For a Valentine’s Day extra special treat, whip up a little organic whipping cream to top off!
