Recipe
Ingredients
- 30mL shot espresso coffee or dandelion tea
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 2 tbsp raw cacao powder
- 1 tbsp Supercharged Love Your Gut powder (optional)
- 1 frozen banana, sliced
- 40g roasted hazelnuts (or any nuts of choice), soaked
- 125mL coconut milk
- 125mL almond milk or other non-dairy milk of choice
- Toppings of choice, to serve
Method
- Pour the coffee or dandelion tea into a small bowl, add the chia seeds and let them sit for 2-3 mins. Transfer to a high-speed blender.
- Add the cacao powder, Love Your Gut powder (if using), banana and hazelnuts.
- Pour in the coconut milk and almond milk and whiz until there are no lumps; the mixture can be quite thick. If your blender is struggling, add extra almond milk or water in small amounts to help it along.
- Pour the smoothie into a bowl or serving vessel; we’ve used half a coconut shell. Garnish with your choice of toppings — fresh banana slices, a sprinkling of mixed nuts and seeds, shaved fresh coconut, micro herbs — and dig in!
