Chocolate Milkshake Smoothie Bowls

Do you ever wake up craving a milkshake for breakfast? I do. ALL. THE. TIME.

You know what’s amazing about plant-based cuisine? You can blend up a healthy chocolate milkshake using fruits, seeds, and cocoa powder. It all comes together in five minutes. From there, you can choose to sip it with a straw or gussy it up with fancy garnishes and enjoy it as a smoothie- errr, milkshake- bowl.

This chocolate milkshake is packed with good-for-you ingredients like banana, avocado, raw cacao powder, dates, a drizzle of raw honey for immunity-boosting superpowers, and three different seeds: flax, hemp, and tahini. Flax is an excellent plant source of omega-3 fatty acids, while hemp contains the ideal ratio of omega-6 to omega-3. Hemp is also an excellent source of protein, coming in at 9-10 grams of protein in a 3 tbsp serving, as well as being high in magnesium- an essential mineral for normal muscle and nervous system function! And sesame seeds are very rich in iron and calcium. Bananas provide a healthy dose of potassium and vitamin B6, a B vitamin that helps to reduce symptoms of stress, and avocado is packed with heart-healthy monounsaturated fat and vitamin E.

Needless to say, this isn’t any chocolate milkshake. This is a true supercharged meal that’ll power you through a morning workout, meeting, or study session.

Goodbye, winter blahs, and hello, dewy glow! Now if anyone asks how you have such healthy skin, you can give them the best answer ever: “I had a milkshake for breakfast.” Elaborate further as you see fit. 😉
