I used half the cocoa quantity required by the recipe and it seemed enough. I'm sure that will change the nutritional values for the recipe but not don't think it's sustainable to be using the original quantities.

The recipe is strong enough to keep you full for long of the day. The only thing I added in my smoothie was raw honey to make a little sweet for my taste.

Devi 1 month ago

Maybe my metabolism or my breakfast intake was not as sufficient as it should be, It wasn’t filling. Felt like eating more for lunch. Btw I had this for lunch.

Tally 1 month ago

Really good smoothie. I used coco powder as that is what I had in the house. I will purchase cacao for the next time and reduce the amount so I will not need as much sweetener.

Lesley 1 month ago

Delicious. Very filling. Didn't need anything more for several hours.
I replaced the almond milk with water and found the texture was good.

Jane 1 month ago

I've had this for breakfast the last 2 mornings now - delicious, and I was well satisfied till lunchtime. Really good, though I did tweak with what I had in the cupboard. Flax instead of hemp. My son gave me a bag of choc protein powder so I'm using that up instead of cocao. No maple syrup and only 2 teaspoons of peanut butter - sweet enough. I'm going to try one later in the day, as I reckon it might help stem my sweets craving in the evening.

Caroline 2 months ago

Tasty, felt like a post workout treat.

Rayna 2 months ago

Delicious recipe! Used dairy milk instead of almond milk, a little less cacao powder, and honey instead of maple syrup. A little sweet for my taste, but tasty otherwise!

Rum 2 months ago

I loved it! I don‘t have a sweet-tooth, but my partner has; yet we both liked the smoothie very much. It‘s very easy and costed us €0.76 per 350g serving. I love the bitter-nutty after taste. One tip: use 2/3 cacao and 1/3 greek yogurt, 20-30g cashew. I didn‘t have hemp seeds, so I just add 1tbsp psyllium husk in my glass before drinking and my parter adds 1 tsp maple syrup in his. Mix and match to find your fav tatse.

Abby 2 months ago

Great flavor and texture. Didn’t have hemp so subbed 2.5 tbsp milled flax and texture was amazing. Tying to figure out a way to hide some greens in there if I had some frozen spinach or something

Jane 2 months ago

Brilliant recipe. Loved it. Used less cocoa powder in mine and it was perfect

Matthew 2 months ago

My review is base don't he recipe as set and my personal taste. I found this to be way too bitter and the cocoa made it very unpleasant. I tried a recommendation of adding a pinch of salt and some additional maple syrup, but this was still far too bitter for me. If I try it again I will drastically reduce the volume of cacao.

LESLEY 2 months ago

Not too sweet, strong chocolate taste

Jaylene 2 months ago

This was REALLY good! I didn't even have to add the maple syrup.

Abby 2 months ago

My fav smoothie at the moment, if you’re debating which one to try next give this a shot.

Greg 2 months ago

Great Smoothie! I like it add a couple of frozen cubes of Avocado to it as well.

Maja 2 months ago

I’ve just made it. Used soy milk instead of almond. It was delicious, will definitely make it again, thank you for the recipe. 🙂😋

Jo 2 months ago

I had to swap out almond milk for oat milk because that was all I had on hand. All other ingredients I measured per the recipe and it was delicious. I’ll make this again for sure.

Elmedin 2 months ago

Used only 2.5 teaspoons of peanut butter and it was already way too much. No maple sirup needed here (or any other kind of sweetener)...

Maggie 2 months ago

Nice, but doesn’t need the maple syrup and I only used half the amount of cacao powder (15gm or two level tablespoons) and that was plenty.

Ruth 2 months ago

Delicious. Just my kind of smoothie

Merlin 3 months ago

Tastes like a rich chocolate milk. Very usefull recipe for my partner who is training for a triathlon and needs to eat a lot.

Anna 4 months ago

This is a monster of a smoothie. With dairy milk I landed at 900 kcal! Raw coco taste does not rock my boat at all. I would try to bloom it next time. Only I do not plan on making it again.

Kelly 4 months ago

Absolutely delicious one of the nicest smoothies ive had ,didnt realise it was over 500 calories though so I'll have to limit them a little 😅

Ruslan 4 months ago

This is a really nice smoothie in regards to the nutrition value although not everyone will like cacao taste. I tried this smoothie before a not intensive workout (pull ups/push ups) and I felt just fine! Added to my breakfast list.

Beth 5 months ago

Wow, that was very tasty! One of things I love about this smoothie is how well balanced the flavor is. One flavor doesn't dominate. And the smoothie is just the right amount. I had everything but almond milk, so I used whole milk. Yum.

Fast, easy, delicious--no sweetener needed!

Marina 5 months ago

I make it almost every single day, extremely delicious but I have definitely reduced the quantities. It would be have too many calories otherwise.

Susan 5 months ago

Delicious😋

Kathy 5 months ago

Peanut butter gives a great flavour

5 months ago

Totally delicious! I did one TBSP of PB and only one Tbsp of the cacao powder as I watching my calories and it came out amazing. I also did a second batch and added about a cup of frozen spinach and it was still good.

Amy 6 months ago

Delicious and not too sweet.

Hilary 6 months ago

Nice smoothie. I use my homemade milk kefir instead of almond milk and it’s great.

Yaël 6 months ago

Delicious! It feels regressive with the chocolatey vibe but I really like it! Easy, smooth and filling.

Bradetta 7 months ago

Loved it! I added cacao nibs after I blended it for a little bit of crunch. It was delicious!

Laurie 7 months ago

I love this shake. I can't stop telling everyone about it.

Really tasty and easy to make! Couldn’t get frozen banana so used frozen pineapple, delicious!

Shelly 10 months ago

Delicious. It filled me up and curbed that afternoon sweet tooth.

Niki 10 months ago

Excellent! So delicious, you forget it’s healthy. I used cashew butter, as that’s what I had but I’m sure it’s great with peanut butter too.

Kimberley 11 months ago

Delicious! Love it!

Sandra 11 months ago

Realised I still don’t like cacao even tho’ I can enjoy small piece of dark chocolate. No other reason why I won’t be making again.

Patricia 11 months ago

Great recipe, delicious and filling

Gail 1 year ago

Too bitter for my personal taste. Used Avocado as suggested as I had no banana. Maybe that impacted flavour. 🤔

Henry 1 year ago

This was really good. Kept me full well beyond lunchtime
