Hazelnut Vanilla Chocolate Smoothie

by

I usually make my breakfast smoothies very nourishing and satisfying, like this Hazelnut Vanilla Chocolate Smoothie. Thick, flavorful and smooth, will keep you full for at least few hours.

I use either soaked oats or buckwheat as a base. In this one I used rolled oats. I always soak them in water with some cider vinegar to start fermentation and enhance digestion. You have to do it a few hours prior to making the smoothies. I usually do it overnight.

Now for the recipe:

    Great recipe☺I can’t have oats so I was thinking on using rice and millet flakes.
    Would you soak those for 4 hours in apple cider vinegar?

      Hi Rachel!

      Thank you so much!! Yes, you can easily substitute oats with rice or millet flakes but also you can use soaked raw buckwheat or buckwheat flakes. I would soak them all. the flakes same as in this recipe and check out my buckwheat parfait recipe for details of how to soak raw buckwheat groats.
