Chocolate Cake Batter Smoothie

By blum099

Sometimes a girl just needs a bowl of chocolate cake batter all to herself. There I said it. And not feel the least bit insane. With first slurp, my eyes rolled back in my head (I swear it wasn’t spiked) and I was suddenly floating in a chocolate river on a raft made of chocolate squares. Puffy Marshmallows encased my torso as a life jacket. I clenched my bowl of cake batter close to me as if it was my only child.

Ingredients

• 1 cup almond milk
• 1/3 cups oats
• 1 frozen banana
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 tbsp carob powder/flour (see note below)
• 1 tbsp cashew butter (gives it a batter taste, but other nut butters should work too)
• 1 tbsp chocolate chips
• 2 ice cubes

Preparation

Step 1

1. In a small bowl, mix the oats and almond milk. Place in fridge and let it soak for at least 1 hour to soften. This prevents the oats from feeling too gritty in the smoothie.
2. After soaking, add to blender along with the rest of the ingredients (except chocolate) blend on high speed until smooth. Add chocolate chips and blend on low until chunky. Serve and enjoy!
Note: If you don’t have carob powder, I would try subbing 1 tsp cocoa powder and 1 tsp liquid sweetener.
