I finally figured out a chocolate protein smoothie that I like! I’m not a fan of most protein powders due to the added sweeteners. But this one I love!
If you don’t have all of the ingredients on hand, it’s fine. Improvise. And full disclosure…I usually don’t measure. I just throw things in.
I also have a sweet tooth and usually want chocolate, so this is my way of getting it, guilt free! This recipe makes 2 smoothies because I'm usually making one for my kids to share, as well. And sometimes I drink the whole thing....
Chocolate Smoothie
Makes approx. two 16 ounce smoothies
1 cup milk - (raw whole milk or nut milk)
1 cup water
1-2 large frozen bananas
1 tablespoon nut butter
1 teaspoon mushroom blend (optional)
1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
1 tablespoon raw honey
1 tablespoon raw cacao
INSTRUCTIONS:
Add everything in a high powered blender and enjoy!
NOTES:
If you don't have a frozen banana, just use a regular one and add ice.
If using peanut butter, make sure it’s only peanuts and salt. Other kinds have excess sugar and oils that negate the health benefits.
If you want it colder, add more ice.
If you want it sweeter, add a tablespoon of raw honey. (do not give honey to a child under 1 year old.) You could also use a date or pure maple syrup for sweetener, instead of honey.
