Raw Cacao Banana Acai Smoothie – For Your Chocolate Cravings

The Holidays can be a tricky time to navigate eating healthy and not indulging in every sweet treat on the dessert table. If you’re reading this it’s likely you like chocolate, so today on the Tambor blog we’re sharing a recipe for this delicious Raw Cacao Banana Acai Smoothie, to help you through those cravings in a way that’s nourishing and doesn’t just fill you up with refined sugars. This is a great smoothie to enjoy during the day, or as a dessert. In this recipe we’re using both cacao powder and cacao nibs. Cacao nibs are roasted cacao beans that have been separated from their husks and broken into smaller pieces. By themselves, they’re bitter, but in a smoothie or as a topping they’re so good! Give this one a go by using the ingredients and instructions below! Also check out more Tambor original recipes, here.
