Cacao Cookie Dough Smoothie….

a creamy, dreamy way to start your day. And you’d never guess there’s a whole serving of veggies in here….

Cacao nibs are a fabulous way to get in that chocolate taste – and it’s packed with fiber, magnesium, iron, and antioxidants, with a delicious crunch!

To get some protein in smoothies (for longer lasting fuel and satiety), you can easily add some protein powder, but you can also get protein from whole food form too, like with chickpeas in this recipe! A wonderful plant-based source of protein & fiber, two main players that contribute to satiety so you can go crush your day and stop thinking about food.
