Chocolate Almond Protein Smoothie
Tastes like a milkshake, powered by real cacao and almond butter — no protein powder required.
Real cacao brings polyphenols and magnesium, while Greek yogurt and almond butter push the protein past 20g.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine the almond milk, yogurt, and almond butter in the blender.
- Add the frozen banana, cacao, and cinnamon.
- Blend on high until thick and creamy, about 45 seconds.
- Pour into a glass and enjoy as a post-workout or afternoon pick-me-up.
Tips
- Raw cacao has more flavanols than regular cocoa powder. Dutch-processed cocoa works too but has fewer.
- For extra thickness, add a handful of ice before blending.
