- Mix well the hazelnut mixture with the date paste
- Roll the mixture in to ball-like shape.
Smoothie
- In a blender, blend all the ingredients listed under Smoothie.
- If need be, add a little bit more almond milk to make blending easier. Attention not to put too much milk otherwise, the consistency will be more runny than creamy and the toppings will sink to the bottom.
Assembling the Smoothie Bowl
- Pour the smoothie into a bowl and top with coconut shavings, chia seeds, chopped hazelnuts and cacao nibs.
- For a firmer consistency, you can either reduce the amount of milk or put the bowl into the freezer for a couple of minutes whilst you can take your time to prepare the toppings.
