Just like that it’s 2019. I thought about what I wanted to publish for my first new recipe of the year and I realized I wanted something easy, quick and delicious. I guess not much different than most of my other recipes, but this recipe is one that I make in my very own kitchen at least 3-4 times a week. It’s the perfect post workout or easy breakfast smoothie and you wanna know the best part? It tastes like a chocolate milkshake. Except it’s good for you! Yes, it’s possible.
It’s got everything you need to help keep you full for hours. And for all you sweet tooth people, I think you’ll be fully satisfied.
Feel free to use less liquid if you like your smoothies thicker. I think you’re gonna love this one and I can’t wait to see you try it!

With all the healthy ingredients that’s already in this smoothie, I don’t think the protein powder is necessary.

Then you don’t need to add it!

Love this one! It tastes like chocolate milk and it is sooo filling. I added 1/4 cup oats instead of the protein powder.
