This smoothie tastes like it would be dessert, but it’s actually extremely healthy! Cocoa powder (preferably the raw kind found in most health food stores) is a natural “superfood” packed with disease-fighting antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. Peanut butter gives the drink a thick milkshake-like texture, added protein, and healthy fats.

- 1-2 tablespoons cocoa powder (unsweetened, organic and raw is best)
