A dairy-free smoothie recipe with a secret weapon. With the weather warming up I am a fanatic about smoothies (well really this chunky monkey smoothie). Healthy smoothies in the summertime are an indulgent way to stay cool.

And this indulgent, frozen hot chocolate contains reishi mushrooms to help calm your system while you indulge in real-food ingredients.

Benefits Of Reishi Mushrooms

  • Immune system boost
  • Anti-cancer properties
  • Depression fighter
  • Blood sugar control

Reishi mushrooms are a fungi used in eastern medicine. Like most fungi, it’s been shown to help a lot of areas of health.

 

 

My Experience With Reishi Mushrooms

Like anything, you can easily overdo it on “too much of a good thing”. If you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, I’d definitely advise to avoid medicinal mushrooms. If you have any kind of blood diagnosis (high blood pressure etc) chat wit a doc first!

My introduction to any kind of reishi mushroom came from Four Sigmatic. You can read more about my obsession with mushrooms coffee, I originally fell in love with chaga and lions mane.

The reishi cacao mix though has been a nice addition to my week. It’s definitely delicious in this paleo smoothie recipe but I personally love it later in the day, just whisked into water with some almond milk.

I find that it helps calm my system, my mind, and just prepares me to wind down.

I grab a cup about once per week and I look forward to it. You can grab the Reishi blend from Four Sigmatic and use code mamabear to save %10

 

The Frozen Hot Cocoa

This healthy smoothie recipe is simple… but its also decadent!

It uses the Four Sigmatic Hot Cacao blend as a base to give it not only the cocoa flavor but a boost in nutrients also.

I then whipped up some homemade chocolate to drizzle around it and topped it with coconut whip cream.

This paleo recipe is great on its own as a midweek indulgence but it’s also a super tasty and speedy one to whip up and share with a friend.

And the best part? Now you can enjoy hot chocolate year-round!

 

Dairy-Free Chocolate

If you haven’t already, start making your own chocolate sauces and toppings! I’ve been dairy-free for a couple of years now (learn more about going dairy-free and not hating food) and with the benefits of cacao powder it’s still to pay such high prices for pre-made chocolate. 

All you need to make your own is cacao powder + a sweetener. It’s that easy and that delicious. So, don’t overlook the topping for this healthy smoothie!

Don’t forget to pin this indulgent and relaxing smothie recipe!

Homemade Coconut Whip Cream

The perfect topping to the frozen hot chocolate!

Prep Time 5 minutes
Servings 4 Serving
Calories 188 kcal

Ingredients

  • 1 can coconut milk Full Fat & chilled

Instructions

  1. Open the can (upside down) and drain the water. The more water you leave in there the less “whip cream texture” it’ll have.
  2. Scoop out the coconut cream into a bowl and whip it with a handheld mixer. It fluffs up and makes coconut whip cream!

Recipe Notes

Note: the can of coconut milk must be chilled in the fridge upside down overnight. This allows the milk to harden into a cream you can whip.
