Method

1. Melt the Cacao Paste
Gently melt the cacao paste over low heat or in short microwave bursts until smooth. This gives your smoothie a deep, rich chocolate flavour.

2. Blend the Smoothie
Add the melted cacao paste, frozen banana, milk, nut butter, and sweetener (if using) into a blender.
Blend on high until creamy and smooth. Adjust consistency with extra milk if you prefer it thinner.

3. Pour & Top
Pour the smoothie into a glass or bowl.
Top generously with cacao nibs and your favourite granola for crunch.
Add an extra drizzle of melted cacao paste for a chocolatey finish.
