Blueberry & Dark Cacao Power Smoothie

Blueberry & Dark Cacao Power Smoothie

Prep time: 5 minutes | Servings: 1

 

Ingredients

1 cup Frozen Blueberries (gives it that deep purple color)

 

1 Ripe Banana (frozen slices make it extra creamy)

 

1 tbsp Raw Cacao Powder (for the chocolate base)

 

1 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk (or any milk of your choice)

 

1 tbsp Almond Butter (optional, for healthy fats and richness)

 

A pinch of Sea Salt (to enhance the chocolate flavor)

 

Toppings (As seen in the photo)

1 tsp Cacao Nibs (for a nice crunch)

 

Extra Banana slices

 

Instructions

Combine: Add the liquid (milk) to your blender first—this helps the blades move more easily.

 

Add Solids: Add the frozen blueberries, banana, cacao powder, and almond butter.

 

Blend: Start on a low speed and gradually increase to high. Blend for about 45–60 seconds until the texture is completely velvety and smooth.

 

Garnish: Pour into a tall glass. Sprinkle the cacao nibs on top and add a few fresh banana slices if you like.

 

Quick Tips for Success

Consistency: If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more milk. If it’s too thin, add a few more frozen blueberries or a couple of ice cubes.

 

Natural Sweetness: If your banana isn’t very ripe, you can add one pitted Medjool date or a teaspoon of maple syrup to sweeten it up.

 

Pro Tip: Using frozen fruit is the secret to getting that thick, “milkshake” texture without needing to add ice, which can water down the flavor.
