Enjoy this rich and satisfying Spiced Cacao Pecan Smoothie. It brings together deep chocolate flavor with warm spices and the creaminess of pecans for a comforting yet bright treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/2 cup frozen banana slices
  • 1/4 cup raw pecans
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cacao powder
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup (adjust to your sweetness preference)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of ground nutmeg
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 4-5 ice cubes (optional, for thicker texture)

Instructions

  1. Place the almond milk, frozen banana, pecans, cacao powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt into your blender.
  2. If you prefer a very cold and thick smoothie, add the ice cubes now.
  3. Secure the lid and blend on low speed initially, then increase to high speed.
  4. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides if needed.
  5. Taste the smoothie. Add more maple syrup if you desire more sweetness.
  6. Pour into your favorite glass and enjoy this comforting blend immediately.

Notes

  • If you do not have pecans, you can substitute with raw walnuts or almonds for a similar nutty base.
  • For an extra boost of protein, add one scoop of your favorite unflavored or vanilla protein powder before blending.
  • To make this smoothie colder without ice, freeze the almond milk in an ice cube tray beforehand.
  • You can make this a mocha shake by adding one shot of cooled espresso or 1/4 cup of cold brewed coffee.
