Chocolate Coconut Power Smoothie
I’ve been on a smoothie craze lately, as you’ve probably noticed from my Sunrise Smoothie, Shamrock Shake, and Vanilla Chai Smoothie. But, that’s because it’s such a perfect on-the-go breakfast or afternoon pick me up.
This latest creation is a superfood smoothie filled with cacao, coconut, hemp seeds, and my favorite staple ingredient — greek yogurt. Blend it all up with some almond milk and you have a chocolatey treat perfect for breakfast, a snack, or even as a healthy desert!
Blue Diamond’s blend of almond milk and coconut milk is like the BEST of both worlds! Sometimes I have a hard time deciding between the two and with their blend, now I don’t need to!
This is actually the first time that I’ve ever tried hemp seeds, and I now I must say I LOVE adding them to smoothies! Hemp seeds are one of the TOP superfoods out there.
