Last week in my Insta Stories I asked you all if I should start a smoothie series and I received a resounding yes (98%)! So, I’m starting the smoothie series with this healthy chocolate treat! For each smoothie I will highlight my favorite ingredient and tell you some of the benefits! This smoothie is tough because there are so many amazing nutrient-rich ingredients used.
Cucumber: rich in silica, which promotes healthy hair, skin, and nails. Silica is great for promoting hair growth! I go over a delicious hair growth smoothie and foods that promote hair growth in this fun video.
Avocado: rich in amino acids, healthy fats, and Omega-3 fatty acids, which promote heart health
Flax Seeds: Rich in Protein & Omega-3 Fatty acid, great for digestive health and reducing bad cholesterol.
Cacao: (not to be mistaken with Dutch-processed Cocoa Powder) Rich in antioxidants, calcium, and potassium, which is great for increasing brain health & reducing inflammation.
Raspberries: Super Antioxidant Rich and high in fiber, vitamins, and minerals, great for reducing inflammation and boosting immune health.

Now, let’s talk about Medjool Dates! Dates are considered “Nature’s Candy”. They are super sweet and provide delicious flavor. Instead of using processed sweetener, try dates or date syrup. If you’re craving a sweet treat, try eating a date or two. Not only do they taste great, but they are loaded with fiber, B vitamins, antioxidants, more that help increase energy, improve digestion, and reduce blood pressure.
So here is my morning smoothie routine. I start my mornings by first drinking a huge glass of water (about 18oz) and then I’ll make a smoothie. In the morning, when your stomach is empty is the best time to drink a smoothie because your body will better absorb all the nutrients and it also gives you a kickstart to your day. This smoothie provides two servings, so I will usually share a serving with my boyfriend or save a jar for later. You can store this smoothie in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a day. It is best to drink the smoothie soon after preparing it to receive the most benefits.
You can very well have this smoothie in the morning as your meal. Sometimes I will do somewhat of a liquid fast in the morning and drink my water and have my smoothie, then I will eat a hearty lunch at 12. Other days, I’ll have my smoothie with a muffin, like these Healthy Zucchini Blueberry Muffins or a bowl of granola, like this Honey Almond Granola. The choice is yours! Listen to your body and do what works best for you. 🙂
