Recipe Notes

  • Psyllium husk and inulin are both extra satiating specialty additions. Psyllium husk is often used as a binder in grain-free baking recipes (and is a key ingredient in Metamucil). The inulin that I use is derived from Jerusalem artichokes and has a mild sweet flavour that blends well into pretty much any liquid. I use the one from Sprout Living!

  • This smoothie is delicious with a handful of berries also!
This hearty vegan breakfast smoothie has deep chocolate and almond flavour! It's a wholesome smoothie that doesn't sacrifice flavour or texture and simply comes together in the blender.
