Chocolate Superfood Smoothie
It's really good. It's filling. It's decadent. Not really for someone who needs to try hard to overcome a health issue, but for a special treat on light cleanse - this is special.
2 cups alkaline water
4 dates
1 banana (fresh or frozen)
1" organic vanilla bean
1/3 cup raw cashews (or alternatively almond flour)
2 tbsp cacao nibs
2 tbsp coconut sugar
1 tbsp coconut oil
1 tbsp mesquite powder
dash sea salt
Why do I call this a Superfood Smoothie?
Fiber: 19 grams
Magnesium: 11%
Calcium: 25%
Iron: 16%
Protein: 13 grams
Raw alkalizing fats: 38 grams
Potassium: 41%
B6: 20%
Zinc: 7%
Vit A: 18%
Copper: 8%
Vit C: 29%
Thiamin: 6%
Manganese: 2%
In addition to those amounts the raw, organic vanilla bean offer anti-cancer and anti-microbial properties along with more protein, fat, niacin, riboflavin, potassium, calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, and zinc.
The Mesquite powder also has benefits as it is loaded with minerals, high in fiber, reduces hunger, and contains the amino acid lysine.
So while this might not be encouraged on a strict cleanse, I would rather give in to a treat like this than give up on my cleanse or eat a pan of brownies.
Cheers!
