This is a hot smoothie bowl! It tastes like hot chocolate, is filled with immune-boosting superfoods and has the texture of a creamy chocolate mousse. It's the best breakfast ever!

Ingredients

2 cups almond milk
¼ cup almond butter
2 Tbs raw cacao powder (I buy this one)
1-1/2 tsp baobab powder (you can get a small package here if you want to try it)
¼ tsp chaga extract powder (here's one)
2 tsp maca root powder (this is a good one)
1 tsp coconut oil
3 Tbs collagen or grass-fed gelatin powder
3 Tbs pumpkin seed protein powder
1 Tbs minced fresh ginger
1 banana
6 dried pitted dates
¼ cup chopped walnuts

Instructions

Put the almond milk, almond butter, cacao, baobab, chaga, maca, coconut oil, collagen, pumpkin protein, and ginger in a medium pot. Whisk to combine.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer about 3 minutes.
Put the banana and dates into a blender.
Pour the liquid from the pot into the blender.
Cover the blender tightly with a clean dish towel (using a towel instead of the blender cap will allow steam to escape so you don't burn yourself), and blend until creamy and smooth.
Pour into 2 bowls.
Top with chopped walnuts
