Nutrient Rich Chocolate Protein Smoothie
When it comes to starting your day on a high note or refuelling after a workout, nothing beats a smoothie that’s both delicious and packed with nutrients! This Chocolate Protein Smoothie by @emfitness52 doubles as both a tasty treat and a powerhouse of health benefits that will leave you feeling both energised and satisfied.
At the heart of this smoothie is our Chocolate Swirl THRIVE Plant Protein. This blend isn’t just about building muscle (though it certainly helps with that!) - it’s also about supporting your overall wellbeing. THRIVE Plant Protein is made with high-quality, plant-based ingredients that are rich in essential amino acids, making it perfect for those looking to fuel their bodies naturally. It’s also packed with digestive enzymes and adaptogens, which can help reduce stress, support gut health, and enhance recovery.
In this recipe, the creamy sweetness of banana pairs perfectly with the rich, chocolatey flavour of our THRIVE Plant Protein. Dates add a natural caramel-like sweetness while providing a good dose of fibre and essential minerals like potassium and magnesium. Chia seeds contribute a boost of omega-3 fatty acids, fibre, and protein, helping to keep you full and energised throughout the day. The cacao nibs bring a satisfying crunch and a hit of antioxidants, supporting your heart health and cognitive function.
Whether you’re looking for a quick high-protein breakfast, a post-workout refuel, or a high-protein snack, this smoothie is a perfect choice. It’s easy to make, loaded with nutrients, and tastes exactly like a chocolate milkshake!
