Maca Bomb Chocolate Smoothie

Recipes makes 1 servings

Ingredients:

2 scoops HLTH Code chocolate
1 1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk (12 fl oz / 360 ml)
1 cup frozen cauliflower florets (120 g)
1 Tbsp almond butter
1 Tbsp hemp seeds
1 tsp yellow maca powder
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2-1 cup ice cubes (optional, for a thicker texture)

Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender, starting with the almond milk and frozen cauliflower.

Blend on high until the mixture is creamy and smooth, ensuring the cauliflower and ice are fully incorporated.
