Raw Cacao Smoothie....


This has become a firm favourite of late, especially when the sometimes fussy 17mth old is refusing everything else.  I was inspired by two blogs I follow, www.greenkitchenstories.com and also www.mynewroots.blogspot.com I tweaked them to suit the lil mans taste buds (and mine).

*1 ripe banana
1/2 avocado
Handful of frozen berries (I use blueberries)
Handful of ice
1 tbsp raw honey
1 tbsp raw cacao
Sprinkle of cinnamon
1 tsp chia seeds
1 cup of filtered water (I have also used fresh coconut water which is delicious, you can also use coconut milk/cream)
**A sprinkle of love

Place all ingredients into a blender and blitz until smooth and creamy.  Pour into tall glass, sip and enjoy......you may even need a spoon to eat it.

*tip: when bananas are in season buy a few extra and when they are nice and ripe cut them into chunks and freeze, then you can use them in smoothies/baking etc

**please note that this ingredient can't be purchased in stores, it comes from the heart and a little is all you need as it is quite strong.
