Chocolate Vanilla Superfood Smoothie

As I was walking home tonight I had a huge craving for some chocolate but rather than caving in and reaching for a bar of chocolate I decided to whip up something healthy instead!

• 1.5 cups chocolate almond milk 
• 1 heaped tsp raw cacao powder
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 tsp agave
• 1 handful of spinach 

Combine together and blend it up!

This hit the spot perfectly! So what's so good about this smoothie besides being yummy? It has superfoods in of course!

Raw Cacao ~ Cacao is chocolate in it's raw state, has more than 300 nutritional compounds and is one of the richest source of antioxidants of any food. It is brimming with minerals and vitamins which can help support brain and heart health, neutralise free radicals, improve digestion as well as enhancing physical and mental well being. What's not to love? I use a raw cacao powder from The Raw Chocolate Company. 

Spinach ~ Raw greens such as spinach, kale and baby greens not only help to alkalize your body but they have a high dose of vitamins and minerals which help you stay healthy and give you energy. They get you glowing from the inside out! Adding more greens into your daily diet will make your skin brighter, eyes shine and help your hair and nails to grow. 

Let me know if you give this recipe a go and if you don't like the taste of greens, trust me when I say you won't even know they are there!
