Chocolate-Peanut Butter Smoothie
It’s a smoothie that’s actually good for you.
I leave it to you whether you pre-soak the chia seeds. I like presoaking best because not only does it give you a thicker smoothie, you’re less apt to get chia seeds caught in your teeth ;-)
What you need
1 small banana, sliced
½ cup almond (or any nut) milk
½ tbsp raw cacao powder
1-2 tbsp chia seeds
1 tbsp raw honey
1 tbsp natural peanut butter
1 cup ice cubes
Instructions
Optional: to make this smoothie thicker, soak the chia seeds in the almond milk for at least 20-30 minutes (and up to overnight) before blending.
Place all the ingredients except the ice cubes in a blender, and blend until smooth. Taste and adjust amount of honey or cacao powder to suit your taste.
Pour into a tall glass, over optional ice and enjoy!
Pretty simple, right? You definitely have to give it a try and let me know how you like it!
I especially like this as a pre-workout smoothie during the early afternoon if I am going to be working out later in the day.
