Description

This decadent chocolate smoothie is secretly healthy!
Packed with good stuff to power your day.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1.5 cups (355 ml) almond milk
  • 1 handful fresh Swiss chard, chopped
  • 0.25 ripe avocado
  • 1 tbsp agave
  • 2 tbsp raw cacao powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cups (237 ml) ice
  • Raw cacao beans, chopped, or dark chocolate shavings for topping

Instructions

  1. Pack chopped Swiss chard in the bottom of a blender and fill with almond milk to the 1 cup line. Blend starting on a low setting and increasing to the highest setting until well blended (about 80 seconds).
  2. Turn off the blender, add the remaining ingredients, and blend again starting on a low setting and working up to a higher setting (about 60 seconds).
  3. Add ice and blend for 40 seconds.
  4. Pour into a drinking glass and top with cacao beans or dark chocolate shavings.

Notes

  • For a thicker smoothie, use less almond milk or add more ice.
  • If you don’t have agave, honey or maple syrup can be used as a substitute.
  • Store leftover smoothie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
