I found a recipe for a “cake batter smoothie” by Oh She Glows almost 10 years ago.  I fell in LOVE with that dessert smoothie/shake and shared it with all of my family and friends as an alternative for a shake like dessert!  As the years went on, I found that I was craving the flavors of this smoothie in the morning, so I adapted it to make it suitable and healthy enough for breakfast, but... trust me, it doesn’t taste healthy at all!  My sister recently told me that it was a life-saver for her in the early stages of her pregnancy when she couldn’t stomach very much. I hope you enjoy this delicious Make Ahead of Monday favorite!!! 

Ingredients

1 cup unsweetened almond or oat milk
1 frozen banana
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla
1 T cocoa powder
1 T Peanut butter** 
1 T raw hemp seed*
1 handful of fresh spinach 
2 ice cubes


Directions to Make Ahead of Monday -

  1. Combine the banana, cinnamon, cocoa powder, peanut butter, hemp seed, spinach and ice cubes in a sealed zip bag and place in the freezer overnight. 
  2. The next morning, add the contents of the bag along with the vanilla, and almond milk to a high speed blender and blend until smooth!

Directions to make RIGHT NOW -

  1. Combine everything in a high speed blender until smooth and ENJOY! :-)

*Notes 
*We like peanut butter best because it has the most protein content among the nut butters, but other nut butters taste great too! 

** Raw hemp seed can be found at Whole Foods and Trader Joes. It’s a great source of plant based protein and can be added to smoothies, and cereal.
