Ingredients:
1.5 bananas
3/4 cup dairy free yogurt, unsweetened plain or vanilla
2 tbsp almond butter
2 tbsp cacao powder
2 tbsp coconut cream
1 cup ice
1-2 tbsp cacao nibs
1-2 cups spinach (optional)
1-2 tbsp seeds of choice
1-2 scoops collagen peptides, unflavored (optional)
Directions
Place the banana, yogurt, almond butter, cacao powder, and coconut cream in the blender. If desired, also add the spinach, seeds, and collagen.
Blend until smooth, then add the ice and repeat.
Pour the cacao nibs in and briefly pulse, so there’s a crunchy texture.
Transfer to a cup, and sprinkle extra cacao nibs on top, if you’re feeling wild.
Enjoy!
Notes:
The riper the bananas, the sweeter it will be.
Freeze your cup in advance, to keep it cooler for longer.
The coconut cream is for a smoother consistency. Subbing 1/4-1/2 one avocado will also do the trick, leaving no taste behind either!
Can use any nut or seed butter, but some including peanut butter, will affect the taste.
