Chocolate banana maca smoothie is among our favourite smoothies. Whether you make it for a midday energy boost or after sports, you most certainly will benefit from its goodness.

It is a super easy healthy smoothie to make, packed full of potassium, magnesium, antioxidants and energy boosters!

I rather make it with almond milk, however, coconut milk works well too. I alternate the two and sometimes add a bit of water. It is really important to use both at room temperature bananas and a half of a frozen banana to give it that smooth texture.

Raw Cocoa powder for Healthy smoothies

Raw Cacao Powder

Cacao powder

Cacao contains the highest concentration of magnesium and antioxidants of any food on the planet! It is more frequently known as cocoa powder.

However, there is a huge difference in the temperature in which it is processed.  Raw cacao powder is fermented, sun-dried and pressed, so it never reaches a temperature above 114 degrees, which is ultra important to maintain its health benefits.

Making it the perfect  ingredient, as it does not have any extra additives, such as sugar.

Question: Is cacao a fruit or vegetable? Answer:  It is extracted from the nut inside the fruit.

Who knew you could get a rich chocolatey taste with zero sugars, and many times over, it has been said to be a super cancer fighter!

Maca Gelatinized Powder

Organic gelatinized maca powder

Maca is by definition a superfood (powder) grown high in the mountains plateaus of the Peruvian Andes.

Raw maca powder can be tough to digest, so, I recommend the gelatinized maca powder which is far easier and ready to use.

Yes, it is a concentrated form made by extracting the starch, making the maca more digestible and the nutrients more bio-available for increased absorption.
