This is my go-to healthy treat on those days when I want a sweet breakfast, snack or dessert! This smoothie is full of superfood ingredients to satisfy your taste buds and help you feel better.
What You Will Need:
- Milk of choice – Any milk will work in this smoothie, so it’s easy to make a vegan and dairy free smoothie, if you wish.
- Pitted Date – Dates are a sweet flavored fruit that grow in clusters at the top of the date palm tree. Dates are full of fiber and aide in detoxifying the body. Dates are extremely nutritious and support brain and bone health.
- Cacao Powder – This plant-based superfood is less processed and a healthier alternative to cocoa powder. Cacao has a delicious, rich chocolate taste and is high in iron and magnesium. If you’re in a pinch, cocoa powder can be used.
- Chia Seeds – Chia seeds are a great source of Omega-3 and fiber. Adding these to the smoothie will help keep you feeling fuller longer.
- Banana
- Peanut Butter
Let’s Make This Healthy Snickers Smoothie!
This healthy smoothie is easy to make. Simply put all ingredients in a blender, I use a Nutribullet, and blend well. If you want your Healthy Snickers Smoothie to be colder add a handful of ice. The date can be difficult to breakup and blend completely, so you may need to blend twice to get it smooth. When the smoothie is blended completely, pour it into a glass and enjoy!
