Equipment
Ingredients
- ¾ cup (105 grams) frozen blueberries, wild if possible
- 1 small frozen banana about (100 grams)
- 1 tablespoon (15 grams) peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon (7 grams) ground flax seeds
- 1 tablespoon (10 grams) raw cacao
- 1 teaspoon (4 grams) maca powder
- 1 cup nondairy milk
Instructions
- Place all ingredients into the jar of a blender.
- Blend on high speed until perfectly smooth.
- Pour into a glass and serve right away.
Notes
- You can use any type of nondairy milk that you like to make this superfood smoothie, including homemade cashew milk. Here I've used soy milk, which is nice and creamy but tends to freeze up a bit, so I've paired in with some water. Oat milk also makes excellent smoothies.
- If you're using a regular blender, you may end up with little bits of cacao nib throughout your smoothie rather than a perfect blend. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but if you're not into it, you can use cacao powder instead. It's also important to slice the banana before blending.
- Smoothies are at their best shortly after blending. But if you need to make your superfood smoothie in advance, you've got a couple of options. Store it in a regular cup in the freezer for up to an hour or in an insulated, lidded cup in the fridge overnight.
