Warming Winter Vegan Smoothie Recipe with Maca and Raw Chocolate
It’s true, smoothies really are a summery treat. The cold creaminess. It’s straw-worthy sipping that keeps you cool while delivering potent nutrients either for breakfast, lunch or as a snack (dinner smoothies work too). Come winter, though, and we opt for heavier foods. Pancakes for breakfast. Or oatmeal. Big bowls of soup for lunch. Warm coffee and teas with pastries for snacks…And the blender sits in the cabinet waiting for the weather to break. Bust it out though, because this smoothie recipe will warm you up for winter and keep you healthy, too.
This smoothie recipe can be made cold or warm. It’s a chocolate base, so if you heat it up, it’s like a hot chocolate with a superfood punch!
Warming Winter Smoothie Recipe
Makes 2 large smoothies
Ingredients
Directions
Add all ingredients to your blender and process until smooth.
Note: If you’re making this into a warm smoothie, take precaution when blending hot liquids as heat expands. The heat will push everything up and blow the top off of your blender! So, if you have a low setting, start there. Also, take the plug of the lid out if you have that option so the air can escape.
