Ingredients

SMOOTHIE

1/3 avocado (frozen)
1/2 banana (frozen)
1 medjool date
1 tbsp cacao powder
2 tsp chia seeds or ground flaxseed
1 cup almond milk or other milk of choice
1 handful ice cubes

OPTIONAL

2 tbsp protein powder - I recommend vanilla or unflavoured
cacao nibs for topping

Instructions

Place all of the smoothie ingredients into a blender and process until silky smooth. You can also add a scoop of protein powder into the mix. Top with cacao nibs.

Notes

*The medjool date gives this smoothie the best sweet caramel-ish flavour, however if you don’t have any on hand then a touch of honey or maple syrup would be perfect. If you find the smoothie too sweet leave it out.

*If you are making this for children and don't want to use cacao powder, a non-caffeinated substitute is carob powder. Carob is a bit sweeter than cacao so you could experiment with leaving the medjool date out then.

*You could also add 2 teaspoons of nut butter to this smoothie if desired though I think the avocado makes it quite creamy already, but you do you!
