Serves: 1
Ingredients
  • Cocoa Chia Pudding:
  • 1 tablespoon whole chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon raw cocoa powder
  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
  • Smoothie:
  • 1 medium frozen banana
  • ½ cup frozen papaya (or use more banana if you prefer)
  • 5 ice cubes
  • all of the cocoa chia pudding
  • 1½ tablespoons pumpkin seed protein powder (or another unflavoured protein powder of choice)
  • ½ cup unsweetened almond milk (add more if you desire a thinner smoothie consistency)
  • Smoothie Bowl Toppings:
  • sliced banana
  • 1 tablespoon raw cocoa nibs
  • ½ tablespoon shredded unsweetened coconut
  • 1 tablespoon grain free or regular granola
Instructions
  1. Prepare the chocolate chia pudding by adding the chia pudding ingredients to a small bowl or glass, stirring until well combined and letting sit for 5-10 minutes.
  2. Once the chia pudding is thickened, add all of the smoothie ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth, thick, and creamy (the smoothie should be very thick (thick enough to eat with a spoon!) so a high powered blender is best)
  3. Add the blended smoothie base to a bowl, and top with the toppings!
  4. Enjoy!
