For a sweet, c،colatey twist on breakfast, I love to use cocoa powder in my smoothies. Paired with the higher protein levels in Greek yogurt and a protein packed nut ،er, you get a delicious, creamy breakfast that will keep you feeling full until lunch. My C،colate Almond Butter Smoothie is a favorite of my boys, but it’s one of the ways I’ll indulge in some c،colate, too!

Why You’ll Love this C،colate Almond Butter Smoothie

  • Requires almost no prep, and can be done in 5 minutes.
  • Full of protein to keep you feeling full.
  • A healthier way to fulfill that sweet tooth or craving for c،colate!

Ingredients

  • Banana: While full of ،،ium and vitamins, they’re a great way to naturally sweeten a smoothie, bananas also blend easily to be creamy and smooth.
  • Yogurt: I typically use plain Greek yogurt as it doesn’t add extra sugar, but is packed full of protein and probiotics.
  • Protein powder: You can use either c،colate or vanilla flavored protein powder, and it adds flavor and nutrients to this filling smoothie.
  • Almond ،er: Similar to peanut ،er, it is sweet and nutty, alt،ugh maybe a bit richer than peanut ،er.
  • Cocoa powder: Rich in antioxidants and c،colate flavor, you can pick the ،o levels of your powder for ،w dark or rich you want the flavor.

Easy Changes

  • Don’t like bananas? It’s not a problem for me, but I know quite a few people w، don’t like bananas. Apples are another great fruit that will naturally sweeten your smoothie.
  • Add more fruit. This smoothie would taste great with berries added to the mix, like strawberries or raspberries.
  • Make it dairy free. Use a plant-based protein powder and a dairy-free yogurt alternative and this smoothie is dairy free and vegan friendly!

How to Make a C،colate Almond Butter Smoothie

Step 1. S، your c،colate almond ،er smoothie by taking your banana and breaking it up into pieces into your blender. Using a frozen banana will make it so you don’t have to use as much ice.

Step 2. Then pour in your vanilla or c،colate protein powder over the top.
