Description

Fruity, chocolaty, healthy - this delicious chocolate frosty smoothie with frozen watermelon is the perfect refreshment for summer.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large ripe banana, frozen chunks
  • 1 heaping cup (130 g) watermelon, frozen chunks
  • 1 cup (250 ml) plant milk, unsweetened
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder, unsweetened
  • 1 tsp chia seeds
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla, ground (optional)

Instructions

  1. Pour the plant milk into a blender together with the cocoa powder, chia seeds and vanilla and mix. Then add the frozen banana and watermelon chunks and blend until the desired consistency is achieved.
  2. Enjoy right away!

Notes

  • Instead of or in addition to the cocoa powder, you can add a vegan protein powder for a post-workout shake. Vanilla or chocolate flavors work best.
  • To make your smoothie a little more nutritious, add 1 teaspoon of maca, matcha or spirulina powder. Green leafy vegetables such as spinach or kale are also a great addition!
  • You can replace chia seeds with flaxseeds or hemp seeds (all provide those good omega-3 fatty acids), or leave them out completely.
  • If your watermelon is not particularly sweet, I recommend using a sweet (but not sweetened!) plant milk for the recipe, such as oat or rice milk.
