Chocolate Smoothie
Rachel Grunwell’s recipe for a Creamy Cacao Dream delight
Iam a wellness expert and coach who believes all good things in balance. I share with my clients that I eat dark chocolate every day – just a few pieces. It makes me feel happy. It’s also good for you if you go with a high cacao percentage. Seek out 70 per cent or above. It took me a while to get used to the bitter taste, but now I love it.
This smoothie is for the chocolate-lovers.
Creamy Cacao Dream
Serves 2
2 cups almond milk
1 tbsp dark cacao powder 1 medjool date, destoned 1 generous tbsp peanut butter ¼ tsp cinnamon
Optional toppings
Shaved dark chocolate or cacao nibs
Place all the ingredients, except the optional toppings, into a blender. Blend until combined.
Pour into two glasses. Drink one immediately and save the other one for later – or the next day. If you pour the second serving into a glass bottle then it is handy to take to work, too.
