Craving something chocolatey and satisfying? This is one seriously thick and creamy smoothie, but it’s not nearly as naughty as the name suggests! It’s packed with raw cacao powder, which boasts fibre, antioxidants and minerals including iron and calcium.
The all-natural ingredients in this shake will quench any craving for something sweet and cold, but it’s brimming with beauty-building nutrients and none of the refined sugar and other processed ingredients in your typical chocolate milkshake. Hurrah!
