Good morning friends and welcome to a three day weekend! Today I have a decadent, nutrient dense and luxurious smoothie to share. This smoothie is packed with the superfood goodness of raw cacao, cacao nibs, maca and toasted almond butter. With hints of fresh mint, spinach and antioxidant-rich cherries, you will be buzzing with energy and pinching yourself to make sure this chocolatey drink is really as healthy as I say it is...it's just that good!
