Ingredients to make a healthy antioxidant chocolate smoothie
For this chocolate smoothie, I carefully picked the ingredients with the highest antioxidant and vitamin level for a healthy and delicious drink.
Wildly Organic Fermented Cacao Powder — Cacao powder contains the highest antioxidants level of any food. It is also high in iron, magnesium, potassium, and protein. The Wildly Organic cacao powder has been cultivated using eco-friendly and sustainable methods. In addition, farmers in Dominican Republic naturally ferment it for 3 to 5 days in banana leaves, which gives this cacao powder a boost of nutrients while preserving all its vitamins and nutritional value.
Wildly Organic Raw Pecans — Pecans are considered to have the highest antioxidant levels of all nuts. They are also high in vitamin E, A, magnesium, and potassium. Pecans add protein and healthy fats to this chocolate smoothie. Wildly Organic Pecans have been soaked and dried at low temperature to retain their nutrition and to be easier to digest.
Organic Blueberries – Blueberries are also high in antioxidants. They taste delicious and are full of other vitamins and minerals like Vitamin C, vitamin K, and manganese.
Wildly Organic Goji Berries – Goji berries are high in antioxidants and vitamin A and C. They also have huge health benefits and a delicious taste. In addition to their nutritional value, they add a sweetness to the smoothie.
Organic Dates – I used dates to naturally sweeten the smoothie and for their health benefits.
Wildly Organic Inulin Powder – Inulin powder was used in this healthy chocolate smoothie to natural sweeten it; however what is interesting is that inulin is a “prebiotic,” which means it feeds friendly bacteria in the large intestine. Inulin is a fiber and starch that is found in a variety of fruit and vegetables such as bananas, jicama, leeks, onion, garlic, dandelion and chicory root, artichoke, and asparagus. While it makes the chocolate smoothie taste delicious, this inulin powder also aids digestion.
Avocado – Not only offer a variety of nutritional benefits, but also a creaminess to the smoothie. The healthy fats from the avocado also helps to bring out the wonderful combination of flavors in the smoothie and keep you feeling fuller longer.
Wildly Organic Coconut Milk – This coconut milk helps give this smoothie to have a creamy texture and a delicious taste. It’s perfect milk to use as a dairy-free alternative.
This healthy chocolate smoothie recipe is a perfect blend of vitamins, protein, and fiber, while offering all the antioxidants you need for the day.
