Description

Introducing my go-to dark chocolate smoothie. It’s rich, fudgy, creamy and packed with chocolate flavor. Plus, it genuinely tastes like chocolate ice cream.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cups Cashew milk ((or plant milk of choice))
  • 23 frozen Bananas ((chop the banana into small pieces to make it easier on your blender))
  • 2 tbsp Vegan greek style yogurt ((love the Kite Hill brand))
  • 2 medium Medjool dates, pitted
  • 1 heaping tbsp Peanut butter or Sunflower butter
  • 1 tbsp Cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp Hemp seeds
  • 1 tbsp Cacao nibs
  • ¼ tsp Vanilla extract
  • ⅛ tsp Himalayan Salt

Instructions

  1. Add all of the ingredients into a blender. Blend on low speed for 30 seconds to break everything up. Then slowly ramp up the speed to high. This is a very thick smoothie/milkshake, so you may need to stop the blender and scrape down the sides. Blend on high for 2 minutes.
  2. Once the smoothie is done blending, adjust for sweetness and consistency. Then pour it into a cup, top with date syrup and cacao nibs and enjoy.

Notes

Make this into a healthy chocolate smoothie bowl. Yep, you can totally make this into a smoothie bowl / nice cream. Just use ½ cup of milk instead, adding more as needed until you get the thick smoothie bowl texture you want. 

To get the pretty swirls on the cup, simply melt some dark chocolate chips and swirl the chocolate on the side of your glass using a spoon.
