Cacao, the main ingredient in chocolate, is a superfood. The higher the cacao percentage, the more nutritious the chocolate (it’ll also be darker and more bitter). Cacao beans are bursting with antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, but when processed into chocolate, are loaded with sugar. That’s why this recipe calls for Chocolate Shakeology, which maintains the delectable flavor of chocolate, while offering a huge helping of protein, super-greens, fruits, and probiotics. Use Chocolate Vegan Shakeology for a 100-percent plant-based dish.
his Chocolate Hazelnut Smoothie Bowl is as simple to make as a normal glass of Shakeology; just throw it all in a blender and watch it whirl. However, it offers a thicker consistency — perfect for enjoying with a spoon. Plus, it’s garnished with shredded coconut and chopped dark chocolate for texture and sweetness, along with a sprinkling of sesame to add savory balance. It’s hard to believe this chocolate hazelnut smoothie bowl is actually good for you, but believe it! Miracles do happen.
Tip: The higher the percentage of cacao in chocolate, the better. Look for chocolate that is at least 70 percent cacao or higher.
