Just a quick one tonight, so I can hurry back to my productive night of laying around in pjs reading Supernatural and watching The Machine on Joe Rogan’s podcast:
My dad’s birthday was on Friday, which got me reminiscing about the good old days when my mom would bake cakes and I’d get to lick the mixing spoon when she was finished. Ahhhh. Luckily, I was able to come up with a thick and rich smoothie recipe which not only tastes like dark chocolate cake batter, but also contains large amounts of antioxidants and fiber. You can also eat this like a self-respecting adult:
Chocolate Cake Batter Smoothie
- 1 cup water
- 1/4 cup steel-cut oats
- 4 tbsp Nutiva Chocolate Hempshake
- 2-4 tbsp raw cacao
- 2 medjool dates (pitted!)
I put all of the above in my Vitamix and blended for about a minute, or until thickened and smooth. High speed blenders will also slightly warm your smoothie for you! You could tweak my recipe with cinnamon, almond milk (chocolate almond breeze- YUM), molasses, agave nectar, mint, almond butter… endless and delicious possibilities!
