Banana, Cacao, Date and Spinach Smoothie With Almond Milk That Will Blow Your Mind
I literally crave this smoothie. It is so creamy and tastes sinful when it’s in fact good for you.
Ingredients
1/2 a Banana
2 Dates pitted
1 1/2 cups Unsweetened Almond Milk
1 tsp Cacao Nibs
2 cups Fresh Spinach
1/2 a scoop of your favorite chocolate or vanilla protein powder
1 Tbsp Chia Seed
Ice
Put all ingredients in a blender and blend until desired consistency. It sounds like a really weird combo, but it is absolutely delicious. The spinach will give it a green color, but I promise this does not taste like a green juice. It is creamy and dessert like. You can always alter or add more or less ingredients. That is the best part about a smoothie, you can throw whatever you want in a blender! Sometimes I add powdered peanut butter for a banana/chocolate/peanut butter flavor.
The chia seed is great for an energy boost. This smoothie is a meal replacement for me and it doesn’t leave me hungry. The dates add sweetness to the smoothie in a natural way.
What is your favorite smoothie?

I don’t know if you realize, but this is a magnesium super-star smoothie. Banana, almond, cacao, and spinach are all top magnesium sources. (I don’t have any knowledge about dates and chia seeds, but chia seeds are a superfood all by themselves.). And magnesium deficiency is a major problem for everyone in the so-called developed world.
