I'm looking for an easy but tasty post work out smoothie/shake. I bought cacao accidentally one time and it's just sitting there. I haven't use this before..

    Cacao (or cocoa) powder can be added to many smoothie recipes.

    My standard smoothie starts with Greek yogurt, almond or cashew milk, and unflavored/ unsweetened protein powder. I also often add fresh or frozen avocado or ground flaxseed for some healthy fats.

    A couple ones I make using cocoa powder are:

    Frozen banana + PB2 + cocoa powder + cinnamon + (optional) frozen riced cauliflower

    Frozen cherries + greens + cocoa powder + cinnamon + nutmeg

    Add ice/ water as needed to get the right consistency.

    Add to plain yogurt or granola, or chia pudding too

    If it's plain cacao powder (not sweetened protein powder), try using some in a hearty tomato or bean-based soup, stew or chili, at about 1/2-1 tablespoon per serving. Really.
