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
- 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.
- 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.
