You’d think by now that I might be tired of making smoothies… actually quite the opposite, I am really enjoying the ease of making smoothies, they always taste great and give you heaps of energy to get through the morning or afternoon.

This one uses a bit of carob instead of cacao for the ‘chocolate’ flavour.

Ingredients:..makes 2…

1/4 cup almonds (I use pre-soaked and dehydrated almonds – alternatively you could soak your almonds overnight)

5-6 fresh, pitted dates

1 Tbsp. carob powder

2 frozen bananas broken up into 4cm chunks

1/3 cup filtered water

Method:

Place all ingredients into the blender and blend until smooth.

You can add more or less water if you like to adjust the consistency.

Pour into glasses and drink away!
