Rich, creamy, sweet, and filling. We love these as a mid-afternoon snack and sometimes instead of a meal. They are high protein and have enough oomph to fill up The Husband’s tank. Loaded with Vitamin A and C and anti-oxidants.
Why call this a power smoothie? It is rich in fiber and essential omega-3 fatty acids from the chia seeds. Maca root powder is great for men, as it has positive effects on libido and sexual function. Buckwheat provides complete proteins and all the essential amino acids plus iron, zinc, and selenium. Mango gives you Vitamins A & C along with a range of anti-oxidants. Cacao nibs add in flavonoids and all the health benefits of chocolate without the sugar. You can use any type of non-dairy milk; we use organic unsweetened soy milk.
Suitable for:
vegan, gluten-free, low-sodium, migraine, reduced-sugar diets
Not for:
low-sodium or migraine diets

Yum! I wouldn’t think to put buckwheat into a smoothie. Great idea.
Thanks Sondi, I can’t remember when I started adding buckwheat but I do really like making those additions.
Remind me to ask you where I can buy cacao nibs…Terrific smoothie, my favorite, mango!
This really looks delicious!!! You could probably use frozen peaches and mango for great year round smoothies too!
Debbie, you absolutely can use frozen for this. Enjoy!
