THE Chocolate Protein Smoothie
My love for chocolate runs deep. I have one of these smoothies almost every day - it’s delicious and gets some protein in! This was the first thing my daughter learned to make in the kitchen - she’s seen me make this literally every single day! She scoops out all the ingredients now herself, and presses the button on the blender. 😊
Gluten-free (if that matters)
Makes: single serving (trust me - you won’t want to share)
Prep time: 5 minutes
Ingredients:
1 ripe or frozen banana (our freezer is stocked with ripe, peeled bananas, so I always have one on hand)
handful frozen cherries
1 scoop Genuine Health Marine Collagen (unflavoured) - use code ‘Surabhi20’ for 20% off!
3 tbsp hemp hearts
1 tbsp raw cacao (up to 3 tbsp, if you need the extra caffeine)
1 tbsp peanut or other nut/seed butter (I never actually measure - just take a heaping spoonful)
Dairy-free milk (350 mL-ish - I usually use almond or oat)
Dash sea salt
Optional: 1 tbsp flaxseeds
Directions:
Blend on medium for 20-30 seconds and enjoy!
You can also pour into a mason jar and store in fridge if you want to prepare it in the morning and drink later, e.g., after a workout.
I’d love to know if you try it! Leave a comment below, or even better, share a picture and tag me @thepassionatephysio on Instagram!
Much love,
Surabhi
