Chocolate Almond Protein Smoothie

• 1, frozen banana
• 1 tbsp raw cacao powder
• 2 tbsp almond butter
• 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1 pinch cinnamon

Instructions

1. Combine the almond milk, yogurt, and almond butter in the blender.
2. Add the frozen banana, cacao, and cinnamon.
3. Blend on high until thick and creamy, about 45 seconds.
4. 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.
