It’s week seventeen of the Weekend Wholefood Blender Party and we’ve shared many a smoothie, juice, vitamin water, tea and hot chocolate… you guys are awesome! There’s been a few hot chocolate recipes over the past few weeks that have been piquing my interest, and this week I’m attempting one of my own with the help of my Optimum blender. You can check it out at the bottom of the post 😉
In other news, Blender Party round-up post is coming up this week, I’ve been having great fun going back through all your posts while putting it together. I’ve also just started a new beverages Pinterest group board for anyone interested in contributing, follow me on Pinterest and then drop me an email with your Pinterest handle at ally@omnomally.com for an invite.
Without further ado, I’m going to turn on the music and the disco ball and we can get this party rolling! Feel free to post your real drink recipes, share wellness advice, find new blogs and meet new people. I’ll be posting a recipe weekly as well, pinning all the linked posts to the Blender Party Pinterest board and selecting 3 entries to highlight from the previous week’s post.

Ally’s Party Favour: Figgy Hot Chocolate Smoothie (In the Blender)
Would you believe me if I told you you could make hot chocolate with only your blender? The friction of the blades in a high-powered blender are great for heating up drinks, soups or sauces, like in this raw hot chocolate recipe. The addition of fig, ginger and cinnamon also bring along some extra sweetness and warmth. Use your favourite homemade nut or seed milk for a truly raw beverage, or some full cream, raw or milk kefir for us dairy drinkers out there!
Â
- 1 cup milk of choice (I recommend homemade almond milk)
- 1 tbsp cacao powder
- 1 medium fresh or dried fig
- 1 medium ripe banana
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ⅛ tsp ground vanilla
- 1 tsp maca or lucuma powder (optional)
- Add all ingredients to the bowl of a high powered blender (such as the Optimum blender series).
- Blend on high for approximately 3-5 minutes or until drink is warmed and fragrant. Pour into a mug, Sprinkle with extra cacao and and cinnamon and enjoy,
