Chocolate Cinnamon Brain On Smoothie

Chocolate Cinnamon Brain On Smoothie

Every now and then I like to create a smoothie that can make you feel a little high. Cacao is often used for focus and mood boosting properties, but Brain On by E3 Live takes this to a whole new level!  Brain On has high levels of PEA which is one of the same compounds in chocolate that makes it an aphrodisiac. PEA triggers a cascade of happy/love chemicals in the brain like dopamine. It’s a feel good, mood boosting chemical that nature has gifted us, pretty cool. Combine cacao and Brain On together and you’ve got a wicked combo!

This is a fun recipe to share with friends because most of the time, people will feel the effects of the ingredients raising the energy levels, especially those who don’t normally consume superfoods or perhaps aren’t necessarily following a healthy diet. This is sort of a “gate-way” smoothie to show people how good healthy can feel and how great it can taste.

Ingredients:

  • 1 frozen banana
  • 3 tbsp avocado
  • 1 tbsp cacao
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 ounce of Brain On (optional)
  • 1 cup coconut water or almond milk

Instructions: Blend your superfood powders with your liquid first, then add your solid ingredients and blend until smooth.
