Deciphering the Decadence: What Makes This Smoothie a Plant-Based Beauty-Boosting Elixir?

Cacao Power for Radiant Skin

The star of this delightful concoction, cacao, is renowned for its high antioxidant content, which can help combat the effects of free radicals, responsible for premature aging. Cacao also contains flavonoids, which may improve skin texture and hydration. Whether in smoothie form or as part of your skincare routine, cacao is a beauty powerhouse.

Avocado for Hair Strength and Elasticity

Creamy and luscious, avocados in this smoothie provide essential fatty acids and vitamins that are not only good for your body but also for your hair. With their high vitamin E content, avocados can help promote hair growth and strengthen strands, especially beneficial for those with curly hair, which often needs extra moisture and care to maintain its bounce and health.

Nut Milks for Nourishment

In this plant-based recipe, we’re using nut milks like almond or cashew, which are rich sources of vitamin E, known to support skin health and hydration, and essential for maintaining the health of your hair and scalp. These milks are also lower in calories and provide the necessary creaminess without any dairy.

 

The Recipe: “Chocolate Lover’s Delight” Creamy Chocolate Avocado Smoothie

Ingredients:

  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cacao powder
  • 1 1/2 cups of almond or cashew milk (plant-based milk)
  • 1-2 tablespoons of agave nectar or your favorite plant-based sweetener
  • 1-2 cups of ice cubes

How much plant-based milk should be used to make this a smoothie bowl? 

To make this a smoothie bowl, simply reduce the amount of  plant-based milk to 1 cup instead of 1 1/2 cups. This will result in a thicker consistency that is perfect for eating with a spoon and adding toppings like fresh fruit, nuts, or granola. You can also adjust the amount of ice cubes to your desired thickness. Just remember that using less liquid may require you to blend the ingredients longer for a smoother texture. Enjoy!

Instructions:

  1. Scoop the ripe avocado into a blender.
  2. Add the cacao powder, nut milk, and sweetener.
  3. Place the ice on top of the mixture.
  4. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides of the blender if needed.
  5. Serve in a chilled glass and enjoy the indulgence!
