Chocolate Lactation Smoothie
Description
This Chocolate Lactation Smoothie uses frozen banana for natural sweetness and creaminess, combined with almond milk as a dairy-free base. Dates add more sweetness and fiber, while brewer's yeast and ground flaxseed contribute nutrients thought to support lactation. Rolled oats provide texture and body, and peanut butter enriches the smoothie with mild nuttiness and protein. Cocoa powder delivers the chocolate flavor, balanced by a pinch of cinnamon for warmth.
Optional additions like frozen cauliflower rice increase thickness and add a subtle vegetable note without overpowering the flavor. The simplicity of blending all ingredients until smooth produces a drinkable, spoonable texture that can be enjoyed plain or with toppings such as banana slices or cacao nibs.
The sweetness can be adjusted by adding a second date or using alternative sweeteners like maple syrup or honey. The combination offers a satisfying chocolate-flavored beverage with varied texture from oats and flaxseed.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup almond milk unsweetened
- 1 banana chopped into chunks, frozen
- 1-2 Medjool dates
- 1 Tablespoon brewer's yeast
- 1 Tablespoon Flaxseed ground
- 1 Tablespoon rolled oats old fashioned
- 1/2 Tablespoon peanut butter
- 2 teaspoons cocoa powder
- pinch ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup cauliflower rice optional, frozen
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients to the blender in the order they're listed. Start with 1 medjool date. You can add the the second if the smoothie isn't sweet enough.
- Cover and blend on high until smooth. Pour into a glass and enjoy.
- I topped the smoothie with an extra drizzle of peanut butter, banana slices and cacao nibs, but toppings are optional and I only recommend adding them if you plan to eat the smoothie with a spoon.
Notes
- Maple syrup or honey may be used as sweeteners if dates are unavailable, starting with 1-2 teaspoons and adjusting to taste.
- Frozen cauliflower rice is optional but can be added to thicken the smoothie and incorporate vegetables discreetly.
