    Hi Sue,
    I’m sure you can substitute it with blueberries or any other soft fruit/berries. I would recommend adding a bit more peanut butter or tahini to thicken the consistency.
    Blending any fruit with raw cacao and any nut butter should work perfectly, I will try it out as well and do please let me know how yours comes out.

    Hooray! I’ve just found another amazing Raw CHOC Smoothie Recipe and no need for bananas (although they can of course be added).

    Add 1 heaped tbs CHOC Chick Raw Cacao Powder to 1/2 cup of milk, soya or rice milk and mix well. Pour into a blender and blitz in:
    1/2 cup frozen berries
    1/4 cup soy or natural (dairy) yoghurt
    2 tbs peanut butter or tahini paste

    Blend well, pour into glasses and simply enjoy!

    Dark chocolate is my favorite kind of chocolate. Chocolates have some natural antioxidants too.’..
