The advantage is that you can add delicious toppings to it and pretend it&#8217;s actually a meal, rather than a drink. We&#8217;ve made our Super Cacao Smoothie bowl nice and thick &#8211; in fact, you can almost pretend you&#8217;re having chocolate mousse for breakfast! But it&#8217;s healthy, so that&#8217;s ok.<\/h4>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3961\" src=\"https:\/\/healthylivinglondon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/SuperCacao01.jpg\" alt=\"Super Cacao Smoothie Bowl\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/healthylivinglondon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/SuperCacao01.jpg 640w, https:\/\/healthylivinglondon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/SuperCacao01-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>It&#8217;s called a Super Cacao Smoothie Bowl because we&#8217;ve especially chosen <a href=\"http:\/\/aduna.com\/pages\/super-cacao\">Aduna&#8217;s Super Cacao<\/a> for this. It&#8217;s the only superfood in the UK to have its claim approved by the EFSA. Which is a pretty big thing, as the EFSA are a tough bunch to win over. Aduna claim that because they&#8217;ve chosen cacao beans which have 8 times the flavenol content of regular cacao powder, taking two teaspoons daily can help improve heart health. Flavenols are the heart&#8217;s best friend and can help maintain blood vessel elasticity and promote healthy blood circulation. And taking 2 teaspoons a day is easily do-able, especially if you&#8217;re a smoothie bowl fiend! You can also use the Super Cacao to make a delicious hot chocolate for days where you get rained on. Or don&#8217;t want to get out of bed.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve also used <a href=\"http:\/\/rudehealth.com\/product\/ultimate-almond\/\">Rude Health&#8217;s Ultimate Almond<\/a> because as far as we know, it&#8217;s one of the few almond milks on the market with a decent percentage of almonds in, it&#8217;s not mixed with anything else and doesn&#8217;t contain any weird stabilisers or emulsifiers. This means that when you make things like a hot chocolate and heat it up, you don&#8217;t get that off-putting layer of oily water on the top. For the rest of the ingredients, we&#8217;ve used brands that we personally love but you can swap these out for ones you have in your cupboard. We must admit though, the Cherry Active cherries are a little bit special &#8211; as our recipe isn&#8217;t hugely sweet, those with a sweet tooth may love these on top as they&#8217;re tart and sweet at the same time. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cherryactive.co.uk\/blogs\/health\">Cherry Active cherries<\/a> are also good for lessening DOMs after a hard workout, as well as helping alleviate symptoms of gout and arthritis. There&#8217;s also studies that suggest they can help with jetlag and sleep too.<\/p>\n<p>This makes one massive bowl or two smallish portions. I know what I&#8217;d rather go for&#8230;!<\/p>\n<h4>Ingredients<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>2 cups Rude Health Ultimate Almond<\/li>\n<li>2 tbsp That Protein Hemp powder<\/li>\n<li>3 dates, pre-soaked<\/li>\n<li>2 tbsp Aduna\u2019s Super Cacao<\/li>\n<li>1 tbsp chia seeds<\/li>\n<li>1 tbsp Pip and Nut Almond Butter<\/li>\n<li>1 frozen banana<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Top with<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Chia seeds<\/li>\n<li>Punchfoods<\/li>\n<li>Cherry Active Cherries<\/li>\n<li>Chopped nuts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Method<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li>Blend all ingredients together until smooth.<\/li>\n<li>Pour into a bowl and top as you wish.
