The Choco-Nut Protein Smoothie is a delightful blend of natural ingredients carefully selected to offer a burst of flavors and nutritional benefits. We start by soaking raisins, cashews, and dates, making them softer and easier to blend into a smooth, velvety consistency. Then, we can also combine these soaked ingredients with roasted chickpeas, roasted peanuts, and roasted flax seeds to provide a satisfying crunch and an added boost of texture.
A ripe banana adds natural sweetness and creaminess to the smoothie, while a touch of unsweetened cocoa powder brings a rich chocolate flavor that perfectly complements the nutty undertones. A hint of cinnamon powder adds warmth and depth to the taste profile, making this smoothie a comforting treat any time of the day.

Methods to make smoothie
Wash the raisins, cashews, and dates, chickpea, peanut and raisins and soak them in water overnight. This will help soften them and make them easier to blend.
Once the raisins, cashews, and dates and other item are soaked, drain the water and add them to the blender.
Peel the ripe banana and break it into chunks. Add the banana pieces to the blender as well.
Sprinkle the unsweetened cocoa powder and cinnamon powder over the other ingredients in the blender.
Pour in the almond milk (or your preferred plant-based milk) or water to the blender.
If you like your smoothie to be cold and refreshing, you can add a few ice cubes to the blender.
Now, Blend all the ingredients until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency. If the smoothie seems too thick, you can add more almond milk or water to adjust the consistency.
Once the smoothie is well-blended and meets your taste preferences, pour it into a glass.
Optionally, you can garnish the smoothie with a sprinkle of roasted flax seeds or crushed roasted peanuts on top.
