Ready to supercharge your overall health and well-being? My Chocolate Acai Delight Smoothie Recipe is blended with the perfect mix of pure, dark, slightly bitter chocolate (cacao to be exact), Omega-3 fatty acids found in the acai berry, and the infamous blueberry and bananaâyouâre sure to be filled to the brim with beautifying goodness!
Did you know that cacao can improve your memory, increase your bliss, shed body fat, boost immunity, and supply you with loads of energy? Yes indeed!
Do I love my cacao powder! Iâve used it in other recipes like my Raw Cacao Truffles and my Chia Seed Delight. In fact, Iâve also used it in another one of my smoothie creations, the Nica Love Smoothie Recipe. You can click here to learn more about the beauty of cacao.
Even though cacao is a beauty food, it still contains caffeine and other stimulants. Just remember, we do not need cacao for nutrition purposes, so treat it as a treat, and have it only occasionally. I was getting out of control with my dark chocolate eating at one point- eating a few bars a week!!! But then I had a big cutback, as I do when I feel myself getting out of control with any one food, and now Iâm just eating it very moderately :).
Açai is loaded with beneficial nutrients and antioxidants, including Omega 3 fatty acids, amino acids, minerals, key vitamins and fiber. Acai is a super berry from Brazil, and you can find it in the frozen fruit section of health markets. I love the Sambazon brand (the unsweetened variety), which Iâve been using for years and sustainably harvests the acai.
The Omega 3 fatty acids found in acai maintain the structure and fluidity of cell membranes, facilitating the inflow of nutrients and the outflow of waste productsâpromoting youthful, smooth and radiant skin by keeping skin cells hydrated and strong. I donât know about you, but I love the sound of that! ;)
And now that you have these beauty tips in mind, letâs get started towards a healthier and more beautiful you!
Prepare ingredients.
Add the acai (from a frozen unsweetened Sambazon packet), banana and cacao powder to blender.
Next, add the unsweetened almond milk.
Add the blueberries.
Then the stevia and blend till well combined and smooth.
Enjoy!
