Name: Calming Nutribullet Smoothie Recipe
Total time: 5 min
Yield: Serves: 1

Chill out with this calming and uplifting antioxidant rich smoothie. The addition of raw cacao powder is a great way to lift your mood. Raw cacao is high in phenylethylamine (the love chemical) as well as theobromine, which give you a natural pick-me-up. There's no better way to start your day than with a really filling and nutritious smoothie. You'll be surprised by just how filling they are and they make a great snack during the day if you feel yourself getting peckish or tempted to go off track from your healthy eating plan.

If you don't have fresh berries at home, you can just as easily make this recipe with frozen berries if you've got some in your freezer. They give a nice, fresh edge to your smoothie and you can enjoy it year-round. You can also swap out the almond milk for coconut milk, if you prefer. Or, you can use any of your favourite nut milks.

If you fancy changing it up and trying something new every day, we've got so many Nutribullet recipes for you to try. This way you can keep your diet varied and make sure you get a range of fruit and veg in your diet.

Make this calming Nutribullet smoothie any time of day - make sure you drink it right away. It'll help you stay on track with your healthy eating plan, or a nice way to get all your vitamins and nutrients without having to take supplements!
