Dark Chocolate & Blueberry Smoothie Bowl

This amazing masterpiece was inspired by my low carb, ketogenic, vegan, gluten free, paleo, anti-inflammatory and cancer fighting clients out there! This smoothie bowl has it all and then some. Super packed with antioxidants from 100% cocoa nibs and blueberries this creation will reduce inflammation without causing any sugar spikes. Aside from snuffing out the inflammatory fires that rage within, those two ingredients have also been shown to reduce blood vessel formation in cancer cells (angiogenesis). It's magical I tell ya. AND since it's also pretty darn high in fat and fiber, this should keep you seriously full for a long time. Many smoothies are way too sugary to keep your energy up and hunger at bay. If you are struggling to keep weight on or are having a hard time getting in enough nutrient dense foods, try this out. Sure, you can totally drink this with a straw if you wanted but sometimes it's more satisfying to eat it with a spoon. 

Ingredients: 
.75 grams (1/2 cup) frozen blueberries
1/2 Hass avocado
1 Tbs chia seeds
1 Tbs raw cocoa butter
1/2 oz raw cocoa nibs
1 cup unsweetend almond milk
unsweetened coconut flakes to sprinkle on top

Directions:
1. Set aside a little bit of the blueberries and cocoa nibs to sprinkle on top, the texture and sweetness from the blueberries is amazing on the finished product (trust).
2. Blend the remaining ingredients together until well combined. If using fresh berries i'd recommend adding a few ice cubes to help thicken this up and make it nice and cold. 
3. Pour into your favorite bowl and top with the extras. 
4. EAT and fight disease :)

*If you don't have cocoa butter you can totally omit without affecting the deliciousness. It makes this recipe keto friendly and is a way to increase calories if you're struggling to eat.
