These smoothie magnums are the perfect snack to keep you cool while boosting your plant point intake. The banana and avocado create a deliciously creamy texture rich in fibre and healthy fats. The chocolate coating not only adds a satisfying crunch but also provides additional polyphenols for added health benefits.
Ingredients
FILLING
- 1 cup plain yoghurt (we used Bio&Me Original Kefir Yoghurt)
- ⅓ cup cashew butter (or nut butter of choice)
- ¼ cup medjool dates, pitted & chopped
- 1 banana
- ¼ cup milk of choice (we used almond milk)
- ½ avocado
TOPPINGS
- 180g dark chocolate, roughly chopped (ideally 70-85%)
- No added sugar granola (we used Bio&Me Cashew & Almond Granola) (optional)
- Mixed nuts (optional)
Method
- Add the filling ingredients to a blender and blitz until completely smooth.
- Pour into silicone ice cream moulds (or an ice-cube tray) and insert the sticks provided or a wooden ice lolly stick.
- Place flat in the freezer for an hour or until frozen.
- Place the chocolate in a heat proof mixing bowl and melt by either placing over a saucepan of simmering water or heating in the microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring regularly.
- Once the chocolate has melted, remove moulds from the freezer and dip in the chocolate. Sprinkle with granola or mixed nuts and leave to set.
