- 2 Tbsp organic cacao powder
- 2 Tbsp fermented cashews (or cashew butter)
- 1-2 fermented dates
- 1-2 Tbsp collagen
- 1 heaped tsp ground flaxseeds
- 1 tsp psyllium husks
- 1 tsp slippery elm
- 1 tsp maca powder
- 1 tsp ashwagandha
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 3/4 tsp cinnamon
- Pinch salt
- Optional: sweetener to taste
Method
- Pop all of the ingredients into your Thermomix or blender and blitz on high speed until creamy and smooth.
- Taste and adjust sweetener if needed.
- Serve with a sprinkle of cinnamon, grated chocolate or cacao nibs on top.
Hint: Make up a big jar of all of the powders that you add to your smoothies (slippery elm, maca powder, ground flax etc) and just add 1-2 Tbsp of your blend when you make your smoothie so you aren't getting out a number of different jars each time. You could also make a double or triple batch to keep in the fridge for the following day.
Options: You could replace the orange with fresh mint leaves for a choc-mint option!
