COFFEE CACAO SMOOTHIE

Cacao nibs are a raw superfood – they come directly from cocoa beans, which are the most natural form of chocolate. They are full of antioxidants and incredibly rich source of essential vitamins and minerals. Cacao nibs contain about 10g of antioxidants per 100g of cocoa beans while typical chocolate is about 500mg per 100g of cocoa beans! The antioxidants found in cacao nibs are said to have positive effects on blood pressure, circulation, and are associated with a reduction of the number of free radicals in your body that trigger heart disease.
Ingredients
1 cup strongly brewed coffee
1 banana
1 Tbs chia seeds
1 Tbs almond butter
1 Tbs cacao nibs
1/2 cup almond milk (or milk of choice)
Directions
Brew a strong cup of coffee and let it cool. I put it in the fridge for a few minutes. Combine all the ingredients in the blender and blend on high for about 45 seconds. You can also use an espresso machine instead of brewed coffee if you have one, but I don’t, so I make a very strong cup of coffee.
