Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk
  • ½ ripe banana
  • 4 strawberries
  • ¼ avocado
  • ½ tablespoon almond butter any nut or seed butter will work
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cacao or cocoa powder
  • 2 pitted medjool dates optional
  • cacao nibs or dark chocolate shavings for presentation are optional

Instructions

  • Add all of the ingredients to a blender and blend.
  • Adjust the sweetness accordingly, my banana wasn't as sweet so I added 2 pitted dates as this recipe makes 2 portions. You can make it as thin or thick as you like by adjusting the almond milk or milk of choice. Enjoy!
