We all know that chocolate and orange are a perfect match. I have baked several recipes using this combo and it is always awesome. This time for a change, I tried my hands on a healthy smoothie using orange and kalya cocoa powder. It is so filling and yummy! Why always have pulpy orange juices? Try this smoothie too!
Vegan pulpy orange chocolate smoothie as the name says is made using homemade almond milk, fresh navel orange fruit categorized as sweet orange, flax seed powder, kalya cocoa powder and cane sugar as the sweetener. This smoothie is rich in protein, vitamin C and minerals.
