½ a pitted ripe avocado OR 2 heaping spoonfuls of nut butter
1 cup greens (I like to use baby spinach or kale. If using kale, make sure to remove the ribs before adding to the blender)
1 ½ cups almond milk OR full-fat coconut milk
¼ cup cacao powder OR unsweetened cocoa powder
1-2 "boosters" (optional)*
*SUGGESTED "BOOSTERS" (OPTIONAL)
These Super Healthy Fudge Pops on their own are simple, healthy and awesome. You really don’t have to add anything else to them, but there are a few things that you can opt to add that give them a little “boost” of nutrients and healthy goodness.
Again, these are all option boosts! Use them all or don’t use any! The choice is yours.
Chia seeds. Chia seeds are chalked full of Omega-3 fatty acids, fiber and protein. They are awesome for helping to thicken up a smoothie and are widely available. Recommended boost measurement: 2-3 tablespoons
Ground Flaxseeds. Like chia seeds, flax seeds are loaded with protein, Omega-3 fatty acids and fiber…plus they are great for getting the pipes moving in the bathroom if you or your little one(s) have constipation issues. These lovely little seeds have a mild nutty flavor and are a great thing to put in your gut, but are most easily digested when ground. Recommended boost measurement: 2-3 tablespoons
Hemp hearts. Hemp hearts are rich in Omega-3 fatty acids and protein like chia seeds and flax seeds, but are also a terrific source of iron and vitamin E. Recommended boost measurement: ¼ cup
Grass-Fed Collagen Peptides. Collagen is a wonderful thing for anyone of any age to have in their daily smoothie! It is wonderful for keeping bones healthy and strong, supports joint health, and helps keep hair, skin and nails healthy and youthful! Recommended boost measurement: 2-4 tablespoons
