Having a smoothie like this one keeps me fueled, energized and happy.
Ingredients for the Smoothie:
1 ½ cup almond milk
Meat from 1 young coconut
2 frozen bananas, cut into 1-inch chunks
1 Tbsp toasted carob powder
1 Tbsp hemp protein powder
¼ cup gluten free, vegan mini-chocolate chips
Ingredients for Garnish:
1 tsp hemp hearts
1 tsp gluten free, vegan mini-chocolate chips
Directions:
In a high powered blender combine the almond milk, coconut meat, bananas, carob powder, hemp protein powder, and ¼ cup of the chocolate chips. Blend on high until smooth. Add more almond milk for a thinner smoothie, if desired.
Sprinkle the extra teaspoon of chocolate chips and the hemp hearts on top.
