Replace your morning cup of joe with this simple breakfast smoothie that's packed with beneficial ingredients to support mental health and help fuel productivity from home and on the go!

MACA contains flavonoids that have been shown to reduce anxiety and support overall mental, as well as increased endurance.

ALMONDS are a great source of vitamin E which has been shown to help boost awareness, improve memory and prevent cognitive decline.

RAW COCAO contains polyphenols and flavanoids that have been shown to help boost serotonin levels and promote feelings of calmness.

INGREDIENTS

1 whole small banana, peeled and broken into pieces

3 tbsp raw almond butter (we love Trader Joe's brand, it's just almonds!)

1 tbsp maca powder

1 tbsp raw cocao nibs (c-o-c-a-o....not dark chocolate!)

1.5 cups almond milk (or you favorite plant milk)

to taste ice cubes

METHOD

Add the banana, almond butter, cocoa, maca, and almond milk to the blender basin and blend until smooth. Then, add ice to the blender and blend again until ice is evenly combined.

PRO TIP: Don't have plant milk on hand? Just add 1/4 cup of almond butter and 1.25 cups of water - you can also use this ratio to make DIY almond milk!
