Raw Cacao Power Smoothie


Want to fulfill that chocolate craving for breakfast but feel energised with no regrets? Try this smoothie... Raw cacao is full of goodness... I have a few variations of this chocolate smoothie combo. I love banana and chocolate together, the banana adds flavour, sweetness and to sweeten and makes it thick... I made this for breakfast this morning - I feel like another - yum!

Ingredients
1 heaped tbs of raw cacao powder
1/2 tsp maca powder
1 large banana (frozen is best)
250 mls hazelnut milk
1 heaped tbs of hazelnut meal (left over from the hazelnut milk). OR you could use LSA.
1-2 tbs of bonvit date spread OR 8 dates soaked for 30 minutes
pinch of celtic sea salt
1 tbs black tahini
Handful of ice

Method
Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Serve and enjoy immediately.

* If you prefer it sweeter you can always add a few more dates or try adding a pinch of stevia or a drizzle of raw honey or maple syrup.
