10.05.22 smoothie

I managed to put this one in a glass. More often than not I use the Cuisinart To Go cylinder and spoon (I don’t like to do extra dishes) but I need to apply makeup to my face today and transferred this one to a glass because. Inspired by my cluttered vanity, I decide to snap a few iPhone photos. This smoothie is a goodie. Sweet salty and satisfying. Tastes too good to be healthy but it is.

Cacao the Dragon

Cacao the Dragon

Ingredients

1 whole chopped frozen banana

I cup of Whole Foods 365 brand frozen black cherries

1 frozen packet of PITAYA Dragon Fruit

1 scoop of VEGA Vanilla Protein & Greens powder

2 tablespoons of Vital Proteins hibiscus beauty collagen powder (this one contains 120 mg of Hyaluronic Acid, which is great for your joints – confirmed by my running coach). The hibiscus flavor adds a unique taste and flavor to the mix. That certain something.

1 cup of 365 Whole Foods unsweetened vanilla almond milk

10+ PRI Manuka honey for the rim of the glass or any honey will do. Manuka has that extra extra.

2 Tablespoons Navitas Organics cacao nibs for the rim of the glass and to blend into smoothie. A little more doesn’t hurt though. These are considered nature’s dark chocolate chips and a superfood. Add a great texture and earthy flavor to the smoothie.

Method

Take a tablespoon of cacao nibs and grind them in a coffee grinder. Alternatively, you can place them in a zip-lock style bag and crush them with a mallet. Then, pour the crushed cacao nibs onto a plate. Roll the rim of the glass in manuka honey (scoop some honey with a spoon – use plastic or wood as metal can affect the enzymes in the honey) and then roll it in the cacao nibs. Place the glass in the refrigerator to chill until needed.

In a blender, in my case the Cuisinart To Go cylinder, add all ingredients. Blend until smooth. Remove the glass from the refrigerator and pour smoothie inside to enjoy.
