Super Nutritious & Delicious & Delicious!
Sometimes the best recipes are the simplest ones. This plant-based cacao smoothie is a perfect example, minimal ingredients, no complicated steps, and endlessly adaptable.
Using Cacao Love, Nutriyum’s high-protein plant-based blend, this smoothie is creamy, satisfying and easy to make part of an everyday routine. It’s ideal for busy mornings, post-movement nourishment, or a quick afternoon pick-me-up.
Why This Smoothie Works
This smoothie is built around frozen banana for natural sweetness and texture, paired with Cacao Love for depth, nourishment and plant-based protein.
Freezing the banana beforehand means:
- No ice needed
- A naturally thick, creamy texture
- A chilled smoothie without watering it down
Cacao Love adds cacao richness while bringing together grains, seeds and plant protein — making this more than just a chocolate-flavoured smoothie.
Ingredients
- 1 ripe banana
- 2 heaped tablespoons Cacao Love
- ± 1 cup creamer of choice (almond milk, macadamia nut milk or other nut milk works well)
Add more or less liquid depending on how thick you like your smoothies.
Method
- Peel the banana and slice it thinly.
- Lay the slices flat in a freezer-safe bag and freeze until solid.
- Once frozen, place the banana slices into a blender.
- Add 2 large tablespoons of Cacao Love.
- Pour in about 1 cup of your chosen creamer.
- Blend gently — avoid over-blending. You want to keep a few frozen bits for extra chill and texture.
- Blend to your desired consistency and enjoy immediately.
Tips & Variations
- For a thicker smoothie, use less liquid.
- For a lighter texture, add a little more nut milk.
- Almond and macadamia nut milks complement the cacao flavour especially well
- This recipe also works beautifully as a smoothie bowl — simply reduce the liquid and spoon into a bowl.
