Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

• CHOCOLATE SMOOTHIE BOWL

• 2 pitted medjool dates
• 1 tablespoons peanut butter
• 2 tablespoons cocoa/cacao powder
• 1 cup spinach

Instructions

1. Add frozen banana, black beans, peanut butter, cacao powder and 1 cup dairy-free milk to a high-speed blender. If adding spinach, add at this time.
2. Blend on low, using a wand to push the ingredients down. Smoothie bowls will be thick, so it takes them longer to blend. Continue blending, scraping down sides as needed, adding only as much dairy-free milk as it takes to help it form a thick smoothie texture.
3. Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more peanut butter for a nutty flavor and banana for sweetness. The flavor should resemble a peanut butter banana chocolate smoothie.
4. Divide between two serving bowls and garnish with desired toppings. I went with coconut, cacao, banana, sliced almond, hemp seeds, and peanut butter.
5. Enjoy immediately – best when fresh!
