Cherry Chocolate Mylkshake Smoothie

(Serves 1)

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup frozen pitted cherries 1 large handful of organic spinach (or leafy greens of your choice) 1 1/2 cups almond coconut milk

1Tbsp. organic coconut oil 1 Tbsp. cacao nibs 1 Tbsp. organic unsweetened coconut flakes 1 heaping tsp. Maca powder 1 tsp of Spirulina or your favourite green food powder (or a scoop of chocolate protein powder of your choice)

TO MAKE:

1. Put all ingredients EXCEPT protein powder (if using) into blender and blend until smooth.
