Cacao-Almond Butter Energy Boost

This cacao-almond butter energy boost is the perfect way to start your day or power through an afternoon slump. It's packed with nutrients and antioxidants, and it tastes delicious, too. The almond milk and coconut milk provide a creamy base, while the frozen banana adds a touch of sweetness and creaminess. The cacao powder and almond butter add a rich, chocolatey flavor, and the honey and vanilla extract add a touch of sweetness and warmth. The sea salt helps to balance out the sweetness and add a touch of complexity.

I first developed this recipe when I was looking for a healthy and delicious way to start my day. I wanted something that was easy to make, but still packed with nutrients and flavor.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
