1/2tspSea Saltfine grain
Instructions
Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.
If you prefer a more chocolatey smoothie, add more cocoa powder. If you prefer it sweeter, add more stevia or agave. If you prefer it thinner, add less ice OR more almond milk.
Roasted Salted Almond Butter
Set your oven to 300* and spread almonds on a large baking sheet.
Roast for 18-22 minutes, until golden brown, stirring 1-2x. Remove and let cool for 5 minutes.
Add to your food processor and process, scraping down the sides as necessary.
Process for 6-12min, continuing to scrape as needed. Once it smoothes out add the salt and process for another 1-2min until drippy.
notes: 2.5c [max] almonds works best with an 11c food processor. For a 7c, use 1.5c nuts and for a 9c, use 2c nuts. Oil should not be necessary if almonds are still warm from roasting.
Notes
A creamy vegan chocolate smoothie with tons of fruit, protein and rich chocolate flavor. Makes the perfect breakfast, snack or late-night dessert
