Plant Based Hazelnut Cacao Smoothie Recipe
A creamy, delicious smoothie with so many amazing healthy benefits – you’ll want to make this for breakfast every morning!
In celebration of Earth Day, we partnered with our friends at Lavva yogurt to share two delicious recipes in a Facebook live video this morning. One was this fabulous Hazelnut Cacao Smoothie and the second was an equally delicious non-dairy Cilantro Jalapeno Sauce.
Be sure to head over to Facebook to watch the video here.
If you like chocolate and hazelnuts together – you will seriously fall in love with this hazelnut cacao smoothie. It’s like drinking a creamy Ferrero Rocher smoothie, but with 50 billion prebiotics and probiotics from the plant-based Lavva Yogurt that we use as the base for the smoothie.
This smoothie is made with dates, the original Lavva yogurt, cacao powder, a splash of vanilla extract, chopped hazelnuts, tahini and coconut oil. It provides an array of vitamins and minerals, healthy plant fats, and fiber, so it’s really healthy for you in addition to tasting amazing!
We reviewed the Lavva Yogurts available in three delicious flavors at your local Safeway last fall and you can read our review here. There is a new printable coupon for Buy One Get One Free Lavva Yogurt available on the Lavva website.
