Eating healthy doesn't mean that you have to give up your favorite things. I have a small addiction to all things 'chocolate' and needed to come up with a healthier way to satisfy my cravings.
Keeping healthy in mind, I came up with this recipe for a 'Chocolate Banana Smoothie'.
It is creamy, delicious and still manages to be good for you.
You will need a blender to make this recipe. I recently bought the Ninja Mega Complete Kitchen System and I must say that I really love this thing...no affiliation-just a satisfied customer! It has power galore and has been able to handle anything that I have thrown at it so far.
Now, onto the recipe....
Chocolate Banana Smoothie
Makes 1 Serving
1 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
1 frozen Banana
10-15 Raw Organic Hazelnuts
1 tbsp Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
2 tsp Pure Maple Syrup (optional)
- Add all ingredients to a high speed blender. Add ice for a thicker smoothie and blend.
We all have our weaknesses and chocolate is definitely one of mine. This drink hits the spot whenever I am having one of 'those moments'.
