Vegan Chocolate Banana Smoothie by piggyinkitchen

Mmmmm This smoothie is super delicious and rich in nutrients! I've been in love with this smoothie for a long time ;)
Suitable for:

Breakfast
Snack when hungry
Pre- Post-workout
Meal replacement

This recipe is made of:

Cacao powder
Ripe Bananas
Cashew milk
Vegan protein powder
Hemp seeds
Coconut flakes

This is a basic smoothie recipe, so you can actually add in anything you want or remove some food that you don't like :)

Cacao powder is high in antioxidant, magnesium, calcium, iron, fiber and healthy fats. Thus, it has health benefits for maintaining our healthy body, such as boosting your energy, imporoving your mood and anti-aging effects, to name a few. For more information about cacao, please visit the article I posted in the past.

Hemp seeds are incredibly nutritious that contain high amount of protein, omega 3, fiber, vitamin E, B vitmains, zinc and magnesium! Some studies indicate that consumption of hemp seeds may help reduce risks of heart diseases, protect brain damage like Alzheimer's Disease, and reduce inflammation which could help manage chronic diseases, such as diabetes, arthritis and heart disease.

Vegan Banana Nut Butter Toast by piggyinkitchen

What I usually do with hemp seeds is to add into the smoothie like this recipe and to sprinkle some hemp seeds over avocado toast, banana nut butter toast, salad for sure, and so on!

Vegan Green and Cauliflower Salad by piggyinkitchen

If you want this smoothie to be a meal replacement, add vegan protein powder so that you can get enough protein for work out or the rest of day. When you buy vegan protein powder, look closely at ingredients, and choose the one which dones't or less contains artificial and/or natural flavors and chemical ingredients. Typically protein powder with flavors contian these ingredients. So if you want to avoid, get the unflavored or unsweetened protein powder instead!

Alright,

Time for the smoothie recipe card :)
