I hate to admit it but trying to make sure you are eating a balanced meal every time you sit down can be really tough and time-consuming. But it doesn’t have to be that way! I started changing one of my meals a day to a protein smoothie and found everything in my life to be so much easier. No more decisions on what to have for lunch and making sure that it had enough protein, veggies, carbs, fat, and all the rest. I just threw it all in a blender and voila! It’s the best because it doesn’t matter where you are (driving, working, walking, etc.) you can drink it anywhere. I love knowing where my food comes from and this allows me to do just that. And the best part is it’s so simple. Other than the convenience here are more reasons why I was inspired to make this smoothie.
Vegan Chocolate Mocha Protein Smoothie
March 14, 2017(Shhh… it’s a green smoothie in disguise!) Sometimes getting your green veggies and protein in every meal can be hard. That’s where this chocolate mocha smoothie comes in to save the day!
Chocolate is amazing, and I feel it should be included in every meal ;)
Chocolate (especially dark chocolate) is a great antioxidant, contains essential vitamins and minerals, and has been associated with a TON of health benefits. Not only is it good for you, but it tastes amazing and will satisfy your sweet tooth so it can help limit those afternoon and evening cravings!
The flavors of mocha, coconut and chocolate are an excellent pick-me-up in the morning or afternoon.
The mocha flavor of the Sunwarrior Warrior Blend Mocha along with the added cocoa makes this smoothie almost taste like your favorite coffee drink. And the best part is it provides you with the energy your body needs without any of the dreaded caffeine hangover.
You can hide TONS of good-for-you vegetables into this smoothie without tasting them at all!!
The intense flavors of mocha in this smoothie hide any vegetable flavor you throw in it, so feel free to go leafy-green crazy! I’ve added frozen broccoli to this smoothie to give it a lovely smooth texture, and you can’t even tell at all! This would be an excellent smoothie for kids or if you are just starting out with green smoothies and need a bit of time to get used to the “green” color or flavors.
AND IT’S CHOCOLATE
Need I say more? I didn’t think so. Let’s get to it.
