Protein Power

I recently found out that I am a bit low on protein. Why? I don't know. But, in an effort to up my protein intake at breakfast, I created this smoothie. So yummy, and is now one of my go to smoothies.


Protein Power


1/2 Banana (I still prefer room temp, for a creamier base)
1/2 cup non fat, plain greek yogurt
2 T honey or maple syrup
3 T almond butter, (or peanut butter if you like the stuff, yuck!)
2 T hemp hearts
1 T Chia seeds
1 - 2 T cocoa powder
About 1 Cup of almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
Blend and enjoy.



If you want a colder drink, you can use frozen bananas, or 4-5 ice cubes and blend. You could also add a shot of espresso.
