Hazelnut Chocolate Banana Smoothies

Smoothies and summertime go together like...chocolate and bananas :) Today's crazy easy recipe is for a refreshing smoothie that will satisfy your sweet tooth while remaining on the healthier side. 

Nutiva is one of my favorite organic plant-food companies. Their products are well-priced, delicious, and their brand is transparent. Recently, Nutiva sent me some samples of their new Organic Hazelnut Spread, which comes in Classic and Dark flavors. Despite the rich, decadent flavor, it contains 40% less sugar than the leading brand, and comes in jars or packets for on-the-go snacking! I love the individual packaging because they're so easy to use and help with portion control. On top of all that, they're gluten free and vegan :) 

Today I decided to whip up some smoothies - all you need to do is blend your favorite milk, some ice, a banana, and some Nutiva Organic Hazelnut Spread together and you're in smoothie heaven. Add in some chia, honey, other fresh fruit, or chopped chocolate to make it extra decadent. Let's get blending :) 

Nutella Hot Chocolate

Nutella Hot Chocolate

I’m in looove with the cocoaa! Hahah, it’s almost Christmas! The holidays can be difficult for some, and nothing helps quite as much as a cozy cup of hot chocolate. This is the time of the year to indulge in sweets and surround yourself with loving family. This rich, decadent recipe for Nutella Hot Chocolate is the perfect thing to cuddle up with on a cold night. It kicks up regular hot cocoa a bit with the hazelnut goodness of Nutella. A pinch of salt creates a lovely balance, and you can top it off with a ton of homemade whip, marshmallows, and chocolate syrup if you wish. Easy peazy and great for entertaining :)
