Cacao Superfood Smoothie

This Cacao Superfood Smoothie tastes just like a fruity chocolate + almond butter malted but with a ton of health benefits. This smoothie would be the perfect pre-hike fuel all Summer long! 

If you're addicted to smoothies like I am, you're probably always trying new combinations. Of course, you have a few tried-and-true standbys that you never get tired of (for me, it's this Pear Almond Butter Green Smoothie), but it's fun to try new flavors. This blueberry based smoothie has a chocolately, almond buttery flavor that masks any other green (kale) or earthy (maca) flavors that come from all the superfoods in this smoothie.
