Ingredients
Liquid Base
- 1 cup unsweetened plain soy milk (or other non-dairy milk)
Fruit
- 1 frozen banana (about 1 cup, add more for thicker texture)
- 1 pitted medjool date
Flavor & Nut Butter
- 1 tbsp raw cacao powder (plus more to taste)
- 1-2 tbsp almond butter or other nut/seed butter (or 1/4 cup raw walnuts)
Instructions
- Add Ingredients: Place the ingredients in the blender in the order listed, starting with 1 tablespoon each of raw cacao powder and almond butter to ensure even blending.
- Blend: Blend all ingredients together until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy without any lumps.
- Taste & Adjust: Taste the smoothie and add additional raw cacao powder or nut butter if you desire a richer chocolate flavor or creamier texture. Blend again briefly and then serve immediately.
Notes
- You can use any non-dairy milk such as almond, oat, or coconut milk as a substitute for soy milk.
- For a thicker smoothie, add more frozen banana or a few ice cubes before blending.
- If you prefer less sweetness, reduce the amount of medjool date or omit it completely.
- Raw walnuts can be swapped for almond butter for a different nutty flavor and texture.
- This smoothie is naturally vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free.
