Make Your Smoothie

This smoothie is packed with healthy superfoods, such as cacao, that are rich in antioxidants and vitamins. Enjoy this guilt-free chocolate drink as a healthy addition to your diet.

1. Start the smoothie by creating a base with the cashews. Add them to the blender and then pour in a little bit of the spring water. Blend together on high speed until pureed and creamy. 






2. Now add the cacao powder, cacao nibs, flaxseed, cayenne pepper, cinnamon, vanilla, maca powder and broken up banana bits. If you want a sweeter smoothie, add some dates to taste. 

3. For a milkshake consistency, add some pieces of ice to the ingredients. Alternatively, you can freeze the banana before adding it to the blender. 

4. Blend up the ingredients on high speed until they reach a smooth consistency. If it's too thick, add some more spring water. You can also use non-dairy milk or tea instead of water. 

5. Serve and enjoy your healthy chocolate spice smoothie.
