CREAMY CACAO SMOOTHIE
This smoothie is super creamy, thanks to my special secret ingredient which may come as a bit of a surprise… Courgette! You won’t be able to able to taste it but it will give your smoothie a nutrients boost. It’s also a great way to add more veggies to your kids diet, as they won’t be able to resist this chocolatey smoothie. Don’t like the taste of banana and want to up the veggies in this smoothie, sub in frozen cauliflower.
