    If you like to have a healthy and oh so chocolatey snack in your balanced meal rotation, this recipe is for you. It comes with plant-based protein, healthy fats and lots of fiber to make your belly happy. It is a delicious chocolate and nut combination thanks to nourishing ingredients like the organic hemp products from MEDIHEMP. For this recipe, I used their organic protein powder with cacao and their organic hemp nuts that are a perfect match. The best part? It can be prepared ahead and is ready for you to take on the go with you.

    What goes into this smoothie bowl?

    The ingredients for this Chocolate Hemp Protein Smoothie Bowl are clean, simple and make a nutritious and delicious meal. Here is what you need:

    • Bananas – Frozen bananas make the base of this delicious bowl. They are a good source of complex carbs and fiber.

    • Almond milk / Plant-based milk – When mixed with the bananas, the milk adds some extra creaminess.

    • MEDIHEMP Organic Hemp Protein Cacao – Packing a protein punch, the organic protein powder from MEDIHEMP delivers a nutty chocolate flavour.

    • Peanut Butter – Paired with chocolate, it is the ultimate sweet combination and adds some healthy fats.

    • Maple Syrup – The natural sweetener is a refined sugar-free option that adds just the right amount of sweetness.

    What are the best toppings for this smoothie bowl?

    The fun part when making a smoothie bowl is decorating it with all kinds of toppings. I always try to pick up the flavours of the smoothie and enhance it with the toppings. Here are some of my favourite toppings for this smoothie bowl:

    • drizzle of peanut butter

    • chopped peanuts

    • MEDIHEMP Hemp Nuts

    • fresh or dried banana slices

    • granola

    • banana slices

    • flaxseed or chia seeds

    Tips and substitutions for this recipe

    • When freezing the bananas, cut them into slices and place them in a freezer bag next to each other for easy blending.

    • I mostly have sliced bananas prepared in the freezer. They don't take up much space. When I want a smoothie bowl, it is ready in no time.

    • You can use a different protein powder to keep the protein intake high in this smoothie bowl. If not using protein powder, you can skip it and opt for 1-2 tablespoons of raw cacao powder to get the chocolate flavour.

    • You can also skip the maple syrup entirely. You can still have some sweetness when using ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter they will taste.

    • Fill the smoothie bowl in a sealable container to take it on to go. If not eaten right away, store in an airtight container and keep in the fridge for up to 4 days.
