Healthy Chocolate Protein Smoothie (20g Protein, No Added Sugar)

A thick, creamy, chocolatey smoothie that delivers 20g protein and 11g fiber — no added sugar, no fuss, just delicious nourishment in every sip.
Yield: 1 smoothie
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients
 

  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, or milk of choice
  • 1 frozen banana
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • ¾ cup vanilla Greek yogurt*, single-serve container
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 5 ice cubes
Ingredient Details to Know
*I use a vanilla Greek yogurt without added sugar; instead it's sweetened with stevia or monk fruit.

Instructions
 

  • Add everything to the blender: Pour the almond milk into your blender first, then add the frozen banana, cocoa powder, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, vanilla extract, and ice cubes.
  • Blend and enjoy: Blend on medium until thick and creamy, being careful to not over-blend so it doesn't thin out.
