Can I substitute the banana in this raw chocolate smoothie?

Yes, the recipe suggests 100g silken tofu as an alternative to banana, though using tofu would mean it is no longer strictly raw.

What makes this chocolate smoothie raw?

This smoothie is raw because all its ingredients, including maca powder, cacao, almond milk, and banana, are uncooked and processed at low temperatures.

Is the agave or maple syrup essential for this smoothie?

No, the agave or maple syrup is listed as optional, allowing you to adjust the sweetness to your preference based on the ripeness of your banana.

How can I ensure my raw chocolate smoothie is perfectly smooth?

The recipe instructs to simply blend everything until smooth, so using a high-speed blender will help achieve the best, creamiest consistency.

How long can I store this raw chocolate smoothie?

For best freshness and nutrient retention, it's recommended to consume this smoothie immediately. If necessary, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

I wish there was another name for it. If it’s vegan, it’s not a milkshake. The words mess with my idea of what I’m eating.
