Cookie dough smoothie recipe
Even though there’s no real cookie dough in this smoothie, it sure tastes like it! Caramel-like dates, rich and nutty pecans, and cacoa nibs with their hint of chocolate blend perfectly with lucuma powder — which has a natural “cookie-like” flavor — making this smoothie all kinds of fabulous.
Ingredients
- 30 g raw pecans
- 40 g Medjool dates (roughly 3-4 large fruits)
- 175 g very ripe pear
- 2 tbsp lucuma powder
- 1 tsp maca powder
- 350 ml almond milk
- 2 tbsp cacao nibs
- 250 g coconut ice

Step-by-step
- Blend together all the ingredients except the cacao nibs and coconut ice until creamy and smooth.
- Add the nibs and ice and blend until frosty, leaving the nibs to serve as the “chocolate chips” and add a crunchy kick. Inherently dessert-like, it is unlikely you will need to boost the sweetness, but taste the smoothie and add if desired.
