Choco-nana almond milk


Preparation time: 60 minutes and longer recipes

– Serves 2 

Loved by kids and adults alike. Creamy, chocolaty banana dream. Combine homemade almond milk with bananas and cacao powder to create this super tasty power drink.

Almonds are a true superfood. They are associated with a range of health benefits, such as supporting bone and skin health. They can also contribute to strengthen the immune system. Soaking them in water and eaten raw maximises their nutritional value. Raw cacao powder is rich in antioxidants, can be good for the heart, can strengthen immunity and is associated with longevity.

Goes well with: breakfast, afternoon energy booster
