Schoko-Bananen-Smoothie mit Sesamsamen und Schokosplittern bestreut.

A delicious chocolate smoothie doesn't have to be full of sugar. With sweetening alternatives such as bananas and dates, you can enjoy it without any added granulated sugar. The chocolatey flavour is provided by our strong Fine Dark 99% Cocoa, which is sweetened with just a hint of 0.7% coconut blossom sugar. A great addition to this purely plant-based drink is the sesame paste tahini, which brings additional nutty notes into play.
