Healthy Cacao Bowls recipe full of all good fats: Avocados, bananas, hazelnuts, peanut butter and granola.
These healthy and delicious cacao bowls are full of good fats and a lot of taste. You can easily season it and add ginger or orange for winter. In the summer I use to add a couple of strawberries to it, and a couple of raw cacao nibs to make it a little crunchy.
For this recipe I only added avocado, banana, cacao X and X. It’s a shake full of good fats. And I still believe this shake is full of power and nutrition and is good for your body. How many chocolate dessert recipes can claim that? But maybe it’s more a dessert than a smoothie, because of the pieces of chocolate. But actually, the ingredient list isn’t that unhealthy. So you can easily use the recipe both for healthy desserts and smoothies. First I though is was a little strange to add avocado in the smoothie. But I got surprised when it turned out pretty good.
It’s a good idea to cool down in the fridge before serving. Or to blend with cold ingredients. It makes the texture and taste more fresh and creamy. Finally add the smoothies in high glasses or bowls and decorate with your favorite toppings. I served mine with this easy granola recipe. Perfect crunch for topping.

How to make healthy vegan desserts?
I’m always surpriced how good, simple and satisfying vegan desserts can be made. Not to mention how healthy they are too. Of course you can add big amounts of sugar in you vegan desserts if you like. But the most vegan sweet recipes are actually pretty simple. Maybe it’s because that a plant based lifestyle often uses all kinds of naturel sweetness from fruits and vegetables.
