đź–¤ Dark Smoothies: Activated Charcoal, Black Sesame & Forbidden Rice Energy Bowls

You’ve heard of green juice. You’ve seen the pink smoothies. But this summer, we’re diving into something deeper, moodier, and totally irresistible: Dark Smoothies.

Packed with nutrient-dense ingredients like activated charcoal, black sesame, and forbidden rice, these bowls bring serious drama to your morning routine — and not just because they look like something Maleficent would eat post-workout.

Moody doesn’t mean unhealthy. These blends are rich in antioxidants, healthy fats, minerals, and plant-based power — all served in a stunning swirl of blacks, grays, purples, and silvers.

Whether you're feeding your dark feminine energy or just over banana + peanut butter, these recipes deliver taste andaesthetic.
