Makes 1 nice, tall, decadent, rich, subtly sweet, deliciously indulgent, creamy, dreamy, secretly healthy, chocolate banana cream pie smoothie that tastes like straight up dessert!
Ingredients –
- 2 Tablespoons of coconut (1/4 C of Greek style) Yogurt
- 3/4 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1 Tablespoon of cacao
- 1/2 frozen banana
- 1 Tablespoon of almond butter (sub 2 Tbsp raw almonds, soak in boiling water for 10 mins before blending if you don’e have a high powered blender)
- 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla (or 2-4 drops of vanilla cream stevia – I like to use Sweet Leaf Stevia )
- A pinch of ground cinnamon
- A pinch of pink salt
- 1 teaspoon of maca – for hormone balance
- 2 Tablespoon of hemp seeds – for extra protein
Optional add in;
- 1-2 scoops of Vital proteins unflavored collagen peptides optional for an extra boost of protein and gut healing goodness
Method –
1 – Place all ingredients into your blender and process until smooth, creamy and well combined.
2 – Pour into a chilled glass or mason jar then top with coconut flakes & cacao nibs if desired.
Note – You could also add in a scoop of protein powder (chocolate , vanilla or unflavoured would work well in this recipe ) for an extra boost of protein if you’re into that kinda thing.
