I may not be the greatest chef in the world, but I am undeniably a fabulous creator of healthy smoothies. Last week while playing in my kitchen, I created a masterpiece that was supposed to be a dessert smoothie, but turned into some sort of scrumptious pudding that was reminiscent of brownie batter.
*Note: Much of my cooking is “adjust according to your taste desires” and approximation. Get creative!
**Another Note: I realize a lot of these ingredients are not local here. But a girl has to have chocolate.
Ingredients:
-2 cups Vanilla Greek Yogurt
-5 Dates
-1 tbsp Natural Peanutbutter
-1 Banana
-2 Squares Dark Chocolate (I used Lindt Dark with Sea Salt)
-4tbsp Hemp Seed
I like to make a few batches of this at once and save it in my fridge. It is best after sitting in the fridge for a few hours.
1. Melt the dark chocolate. I used two squares. Use more if you want a more chocolatey treat, or a bigger batch!
2. Combine 2 cups of yogurt, 1 banana, 4 tbsp of hemp seed, 5 dates, 1tbsp natural PB, and chocolate in blender.
3. Taste it. Want it thicker? Add more hemp seeds and/or PB. Want it sweeter? Add more banana and/or dates. More chocolatey? Add chocolate.
Put it in the fridge and eat it later. All the time. Healthy and delicious chocolate pseudo-brownie batter bliss. Let me know if you tried it and liked it!
