Fede Yesterday

Buonissimo!

Debbie 3 days ago

Very yummy and great after a hard workout. I subbed chocolate plant based protein powder for the cacao and skipped the maple syrup. It was delicious, will definitely make it again.

Gillian Last week

Oh yum. I made this with Alpro plant protein milk and yacon syrup. This is amazing. I was a bit dubious about the amount of hemp and cacao but it’s a thick delicious shake and easier for me this morning than eating. This will be a go to: my banana wasn’t frozen but it doesn’t seem to matter

This is great. So filling. Feels naughty but nice!

A very easy and tasty smoothie that I’ve made exactly as the recipe states , and is delicious. I’ve also added other ingredients just to add diversity, as I love to add extra plant points where possible , like ground chia seeds , cardamom powder , ground flax and sometimes and organic pea protein, and swap oat milk for organic cashew or organic soya milk , all hidden by the taste of the Aduna cacao powder I use . I probably have this twice a week , thank you

Love this smoothie really makes you feel full up until lunchtime. Great flavours, just love it sand so easy to make.

Caro 2 weeks ago

Like it very much but I changed it slightly
Used combination of skir and milk and didn’t have enough bananas so i used a combination of bananas and strawberries
It didn’t need the maple syrup for sweetness but I don’t like things to sweet i like it with a little sourness hence the skir

No maple syrup as long as the frozen banana is ripe

I love this smoothie. It’s perfect for those with a sweet tooth wanting a healthier kick.

Tara 4 weeks ago

I love this smoothie. Easy to digest bc it’s dairy free, no need to add protein powder, and tastes lovely. Not sweet, but the cinnamon and banana balance out the bitterness of the cacao. I love it post work out.

Ticks all the boxes for a quick breakfast (and if you like chocolate 😊)

Alan Last month

Refreshing and tasty, I used Milled Flaxseed as finding Shelled Hemp isn't so easy ..

Cat 3 months ago

Very satiating. As a diabetic, bananas spike me so I subbed 1/2 cup frozen blueberries. It was really delicious. I also used two tbsp hemp protein powder ( which is only hempseeds). This will be a regular

Very yummy

Simone 4 months ago

I love it 🙂 I think I might add a few frozen dark cherries to go with the chocolate 😋 Do you think that’ll work?

Lauren 4 months ago

A very high amount of calories in this - maybe from all the peanut butter - and it didn’t taste great (strong cacao taste and no sweetness).

Marie 5 months ago

Bit powdery but I liked it! Would definitely make it again.

Sue 5 months ago

Stunning recipe! Loads of protein and super tasty! Perfect recipe for all the frozen bananas I've "saved" in the freezer. Well done guys

5 months ago

Very rich for me, would save this for a time I need a large bar of chocolate!

Siobhan 6 months ago

So good!
Found you can reduce the cacao powder to keep costs a bit lower/ less kcals

Bev 6 months ago

Easy to do and delicious

Kerryn 6 months ago

Lovely recipe. Definitely needs the frozen banana or ice cubes for the coldness. It was quite thick and needed to add some more milk.

Una 6 months ago

I used honey instead of syrup

Ria 6 months ago

Delicious
