This isn’t just a chocolate smoothie – it’s the chocolate smoothie. Rich, creamy, and full of nourishing plant power, it satisfies a serious chocolate craving while giving your body the fuel it needs to thrive. Whether you’re after a mid-afternoon lift or a powerful post-workout recovery blend, this one ticks all the boxes.

Dates bring a natural caramel sweetness along with potassium, magnesium, and fibre to support energy release and digestion. Walnuts add a creamy texture and a generous dose of plant-based omega-3 fatty acids, which are vital for brain health and reducing inflammation. Avocado brings in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and adds to that luxuriously smooth texture.

Cacao powder and cacao nibs offer a powerful antioxidant boost while delivering a deep, intense chocolate flavour. Brown rice protein contributes high-quality plant-based protein to support muscle repair and recovery, while coconut water powder helps replenish lost electrolytes after exercise. Lucuma adds gentle sweetness with the bonus of iron, zinc, and calcium, and vanilla enhances the flavour without overpowering it. A splash of oat milk and a good handful of ice pull everything together into the perfect chilled blend.

This smoothie proves you can fuel your body and satisfy your tastebuds in one delicious glass. Whole food nutrition, elevated.

If you’re not an avocado fan, or you don’t have any on hand, you can swap it out for chia seeds without really changing the flavour of the recipe. If you want to add some veg, then both kale and frozen cauliflower can be hidden in here without anyone knowing!
