    The Snackable Recipe Contest with Over $3500 in Cash Prizes! Show us your Sweet, Savory & Sippable Dairy-Free Recipes!I love adding spice to creamy smoothies, so I was excited to see this flavorful Mexican chocolate smoothie concept – spiked with cinnamon, cayenne and an extra dose of nibby chocolate! The recipe is a Sippable entry in the BIG Snackable Recipe Contest (over $3500 in cash prizes available!) submitted by Hallie Klecker of Daily Bites.

    Mexican Chocolate Smoothie Recipe - a healthy, dairy-free delight with little flecks of cacao nibs and notable spice throughout. Naturally vegan and paleo.To qualify for the contest, this recipe for a Mexican chocolate smoothie uses Cashew Milk Beverage from So Delicious Dairy Free.

    Special Diet Notes: Mexican Chocolate Smoothie

    Go Dairy Free - The Guide and Cookbook for Milk Allergies, Lactose Intolerance and Casein-Free LivingBy ingredients, this recipe is dairy-free / non-dairy, egg-free, gluten-free, grain-free, peanut-free, soy-free, vegan / plant-based, vegetarian, and optionally paleo. For paleo, use lite coconut milk rather than milk beverage.

    For a nut-free Mexican chocolate smoothie, substitute sunflower seed butter for the almond butter, and use coconut milk beverage rather than cashew.

    Need banana-free? I recommend substituting frozen cubes of cooked pumpkin plus 1 to 2 softened, pitted Medjool dates in this Mexican chocolate smoothie recipe for those of you who shun bananas.

      I’ve never heard of that Cashew beverage! I’ll have to look into it since I don’t do dairy. Love these Mexican flavors here!
