Notes
- Add a sprinkle of sea salt to offset the cocoa powder for a different flavour!
- Swap out the dates for maple syrup or any other sweetener if you can’t get your hands on them, or don’t have the best blender.
- Add a scoop of protein powder for even more protein!
- If you like banana, but not soy, then this recipe could also work by swapping the silken tofu for a banana.
