Support your stress levels with this delicious smoothie, packed with healthy fats, antioxidant-rich spices and nutrient-dense fruits. Avocados deliver B vitamins that nurture your nervous system and aid the stress response. Cacao (nibs or powder) and cocoa are rich in flavonoids, magnesium and zinc—key nutrients for stress relief. Find cacao nibs in the health-food aisle or swap with unsweetened cocoa powder from the baking aisle.
We recommend using Everee #2 for an amino-acid boost and creamy, sheep-milk richness.
Ingredients
1 cup trim or plant milk of your choice
1 Tbsp cacao nibs or unsweetened cocoa powder
1 scoop (2 tsp) Everee #2
½ tsp ground cinnamon
2 tsp chia seeds
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ avocado (fresh or frozen)
½ large frozen banana or ¾ cup frozen berries
Optional: 1 cup spinach leaves; maple syrup or honey to taste
Directions
Step 1
Add all ingredients to a blender and blitz until smooth.
Step 2
If it’s too thick, thin with extra milk, water or coconut water.
Step 3
Pour into a large glass and enjoy immediately—or store in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
Variation – Smoothie Bowl for two:
Use Greek yoghurt in place of milk and add an extra scoop of Everee #2. After blending, stir in ½ cup rolled oats and let sit for 15 minutes to soften. Divide between two bowls and top with fruit, seeds and nuts.
