Maca and ashwagandha are traditional plant powders with an earthy taste; no health claims are authorised for either. Cacao gives a full chocolate flavour and contains theobromine. Banana and peanut butter make the smoothie creamy and filling.

Tips & variations

• For less bitterness: add more dates
• Variation: replace banana with avocado for a less sweet version
• Do you use Vitals Ashwagandha-KSM capsules? Take the capsules separately with water as directed on the label and do not mix them into the smoothie.
