Cherry Cacao Smoothie Bowl
I enjoy coming up with a different smoothie bowl every week. It keeps it interesting and exciting for me. This time I was craving cherry. In addition to the cherries, I added in some strawberries I had on hand as well and a dash of cacao powder and raw chocolate protein powder as well. I topped it off with raw cacao nibs, chia seeds, hemp seeds, coconut and more cherries. It was delicious! This is the best type of dessert...one that nourishes, energizes and tastes amazing!
Cherry Cacao Smoothie Bowl
Serves 1
Smoothie:
1 large bananas, frozen and cut into pieces
1 cup frozen organic strawberries
2 cups organic cherries
3 Tbsp raw cacao powder
1 scoop raw chocolate protein powder (optional, I used Garden of Life brand)
1/4-1/2 cup raw hemp milk or coconut milk (depending on how liquidy you like it, I like mine thick so I add less)
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
stevia to taste (or your choice liquid raw sweetener)
Toppings:
raw cacao nibs
chia seeds
shelled raw hemp seeds
large flake dried coconut

For the smoothie, combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth, using the tamper to press the mixture into the blades. Pour into a bowl, top with toppings (I used about 1 Tbsp of each). Enjoy!
