Two rather elegant looking smoothies, don’t you think? If you are a smoothie fan you’ll know what is in a regular smoothie. However, you’ll never guess what is in the vanilla layer? The chocolate layer is more obvious, lol!, but I’m going to keep you guessing about that vanilla layer for the moment. Just know that it is catgorized as a superfood! OK, I give in … you’ll find the answer in the recipe details at the end of the post.
This recipe comes from Katie at 24CarrotLife who says she cheated, lol …
This is more like a spoonable smoothie, which is the best kind, right? Make this in a food processor (or Vitamix if you are so lucky) to keep this nice and thick. I ended up making twice the recipe so I could fill this huge glass with multiple layers.

- 2 tablespoon Cocoa powder
- 1 Banana, frozen
- 2 teaspoon Almond Butter
- 3 tablespoons Almond Milk, unsweetened
