Oatmeal Dates and Chocolate Smoothie Bowl with Homemade Chocolate Sauce

First, prepare the chocolate sauce: Melt 1 teaspoon coconut oil, 1 teaspoon ghee, and 0.5 teaspoon honey on low heat in a small pot. Once melted, mix in 2 teaspoons raw cacao powder and a pinch of sea salt. Stir until the sauce is smooth.

Next, prepare the smoothie bowl: In a high-speed blender, combine 1 cup almond or oat milk, 2 tablespoons raw cacao powder, 1 scoop plant-based vanilla protein, 0.5 teaspoon maca, 2 small pitted dates, 0.25 avocado, 0.25 cup rolled oats, and a pinch of sea salt. Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth.

Pour the smoothie into a bowl. Top with granola, coconut flakes, hazelnuts, the prepared chocolate sauce, and a few pieces of Peanut Butter Crack Bars (optional, recipe for these bars is on Dani's page).
