I love smoothies. I usually have one everyday as either a meal replacement or post workout. I usually make them with a variety of fruit and use a vanilla whey protein base. Since I am out of vanilla protein powder it has inspired me to come up with smoothies that I could make with a chocolate whey powder. This is what inspired the almond joy smoothie. The dark chocolate in the cacao is loaded with antioxidants. Go here for more details on that.
Here’s the Recipe for the “Almond Joy” Smoothie
Ingredients
1 cup coconut water
½ cup almond milk
2 T flaked coconut
½ tablespoon cocoa nibs
10 ice cubes
½ teaspoon coconut extract
1 heaping scoop of chocolate whey powder
Directions
Combine the ingredient in a blender and blend until smooth. Serve immediately.
