When I’m craving for chocolate I love making myself a nice and creamy chocolate smoothie. My favourite one is with frozen banana, peanut butter and cacao powder; all mixed together with some water. But this recipe is even better, the advanced version of the other smoothie, so to speak. Carob powder makes the drink sweeter by adding a lot of calcium and roughage as well as iron, vitamin A and B and other trace minerals (source), whereas hemp powder gives you an extra portion of protein (source) and chia seeds omega-III fatty acids (source). All together the perfect combination that tastes like heaven!

How to make it:
