This Citrus Spiced Chocolate Smoothie Nourishes Your Health and Tastes Like Dessert

Nourish your body, mind, and soul with this citrus spiced chocolate smoothie. It tastes like dessert, but provides the body with a host of benefits like cancer prevention, reduced LDL cholesterol, improved immune system and better circulation.

You can enjoy this smoothie as a way to energize your mornings, or you can enjoy it for dessert as a substitute for less-healthy desserts on the market. It is packed with antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and crucial phytonutrients, and tastes like a thick, creamy, chocolate malt with a bit of edge. I guarantee you’ll love it!

You can either choose to add cacao, or carob – cacao is slightly stimulating, so if you don’t like that effect on your body, then I suggest to go with carob.
