Enjoy this delicious (and easy to make!) summer chocolate smoothie to keep you nourished and cool.
Both raw cacao powder and dates are very nutrient dense and high in minerals such as iron and magnesium so this is a decadent, yet healthy treat. The addition of aromatic rose evokes the taste of chocolatey Turkish delight while the tiny amount of Himalayan sea salt brings out the flavour of the cacao and may replace trace minerals lost though sweating.
You can bulk it up with half an avocado or banana too.
- 1 teaspoon good quality raw cacao powder
- 1 date
- Glass of almond milk
- Pinch of Himalayan sea salt
- 1 teaspoon of rose water or a few drops of food grade rose oil.
Add everything in and blend.
Enjoy.
