  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds

  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts (almonds/brazil/cashews)

  • 1 teaspoon cacao powder

  • zest of an orange

  • A few berries & fig’s (you can use any seasonal fruit)

Instructions

  1. Place banana, zucchini, coconut yoghurt, flaxseeds & protein into a high powered blender & blend until smooth & creamy.

  2. Spoon into a bowl.

  3. Pulse dry toppings in the blender (chia seeds, nuts, cacao) & sprinkle on top of the smoothie bowl.
