Enjoy this rich, creamy, chocolaty smoothie loaded with antioxidants and healthy fats. The cacao powder is all natural and comes right from the cacao bean, and together with the berries adds tons of antioxidants. It’s quick and easy to make and can be a great part of any breakfast, lunch, or an afternoon pick-me-up.
