After so many Easter eggs, you’re probably looking for slightly lighter recipes for this week. But that’s not why you’re going to give up sweets in the next few days, is it? It was precisely with this in mind that I made this selection of functional, vegan and light recipes to enjoy without guilt ?
SMOOTHIE CHOCOLATE VEGAN
It’s hard to give up chocolate, I know, but why not use it in a lighter way? This lactose-free, vegan smoothie takes cocoa powder, almond milk, bananas and blueberries! In addition to being healthy, I swear it looks delicious.
