Ingredients

1 frozen banana

1 1/4 tablespoon raw cacao powder

1 tablespoon chia seeds

1 teaspoon goji berries

1/2 orange

1/2 cup almond milk

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon melted coconut oil

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

small handful ice

Topping

coconut chips

banana slices

cacao nibs

raspberry chia compote or fresh raspberries

Method

1.Blend everything in a blender until smooth and thick. Pour into a bowl and refrigerate for 10 minutes while the chia thickens it up and the texture becomes mousse-like.

2.Decorate with toppings.

Cacao can help you absorb more of the goodness in the superfoods (the good fat from the coconut oil also aids our absorption of fat-soluble vitamins).
