Chocolate Banana Smoothie by Chef Kate
Chef Kate: “I love chocolate – the secret is out! I think just about everyone else does too, so this is one of my all time favourite smoothies that I make for company. You can add as much chocolate as you like and the Chocolate Vital Protein makes it a great option for a meal on the run. Serve with our Muesli Bar and you’re good to go”.

1-2 tbsp honey or agave (to taste)
2 tbsp cocoa powder

TIPS
Freezing fruit is also recommended to give your smoothies a thick and creamy milkshake-like consistency. If using fresh fruit, simply add a few ice cubes for a similar effect.
Choco-Latte Smoothie
A quick pick me up for grown-ups, add 2-3 tbsp strong black coffee (or 1 tsp organic instant) to the Chocolate Smoothie. Also, omit the almond butter and follow the same method as above.
