Can anything that tastes like chocolate be bad? This smoothie consists of three ingredients of the best taste: banana, peanut butter and the most important ingredient – raw, organic cocoa.

The sweetness of this smoothie comes from the ripeness of the bananas, so be sure to use some very ripe bananas with lots of black dots. Bananas like this are also easier to digest. If you still want this smoothie to be a little sweeter, feel free to add some of the healthy sweeteners like honey, maple syrup or 2-3 fresh dates.

This creamy smoothie rich in protein with raw cocoa being its main ingredient will become your favourite healthy treat or a quick, nutritious and energising breakfast!

Raw cocoa is considered one of the most nutritious foods in the world due to its nutritional properties. That is why cocoa belongs to the category of superfoods.

I will list only some of the benefits of raw cocoa:

• antioxidant (protects the body from the effects of free radicals)
• antidepressant effect (reduces stress and depression)
• promotes good mood (promotes the secretion of serotonin, the hormone of happiness)
• protects against cardiovascular diseases (protects the heart and blood vessels)
• protects against many types of cancer
• it is an excellent source of iron, a natural remedy for anemia
• regulates sugar and cholesterol levels
• encourages better memory and concentration
• reduces the risk of heart attack
• helps regulate blood pressure

And to conclude why this recipe deserved to be here – Raw Organic Cocoa Powder!

Using it on daily basis will not only improve the taste of your smoothie, coffee or desert, but it can increase red blood cells and iron in your blood. After realising the health benefits of Raw Organic Cocoa Powder by Energy Feelings, you might want to use it in the future primarily thinking of its health benefits. And of course, still a little bit because of that irresistible taste of chocolate as well. 🙂
