Why You’ll Love Chocolate Protein Smoothie
Chocolate 🍫 for breakfast? Every kid’s fantasy is now an adult reality! This protein-rich smoothie is high in plant-based protein, thanks to magical hemp seeds (no, not that kind of magical 😉), which keep you satisfied for hours. Bananas and fresh dates thicken up this beverage, so the texture is almost like a milkshake 😋.
How to Prepare Chocolate Protein Smoothie
🍫 Add the banana, milk, hemp seeds, cacao, protein powder (if using), and date to a blender. Then, blend until nice and smooth, about 1 minute. 🥤 You can refrigerate the smoothie or add ice to your glass. Enjoy and garnish with mini chocolate chips if you like.
