New and improved

Several people have asked me for the recipe of my chocolate smoothie and the nutrition of it. I was unsure of the nutrition because I’ve made several changes to it recently. I’m not sure if it’s better or worse than the previous version. The new smoothie include less avocado, more hemp, less Vega and I also added some mango. According to Nutridiary, it’s about the same as before (685 calories now vs 660 before, 36g vs 39g fat and 79g vs 63g carbs). I updated it and the recipe and nutrition is below. It still tastes just as good, if not better and it might cause you to have your best day ever!

Ingredients

• 1 ripe pear
• handful of frozen strawberries
• handful of frozen mango
• handful of soaked almonds
• 1/2 frozen banana
• 1/6 avocado
• 3 raw cacao beans (grind in coffee grinder before)
• tsp raw cacao powder (optional)
• protein powder (I use hemp and chocolate Vega)
• water

Instructions

1. Blend fruit, almonds and avocado with water until a smooth consistency. Add water as needed or to desired consistency.
2. Gradually add cacao powder, ground cacao beans and protein powder. For a more chocolately flavour, add some raw cacao powder.

After adding water, it’s about 1.5 litres of smoothie! I usually have it all for breakfast, but most people can only drink half because it’s pretty filling. But it’s all good.
