NUTTY CHOCOLATE CHIA PROTEIN SMOOTHIE RECIPE

This high fiber, high protein smoothie withย plant based protein in chocolate includes an added chia superfood boost as well as satiating healthy fats from a bit of nuts and touch of cacao.

It is sooooo good, you would practically think you’re having dessert!

Weather you have this as a breakfast or lunch meal replacement, or even just a protein packed snack, your chocolate craving will disappear!

I used ground chia seeds, but you can also soak your chia seeds in your milk substitute for 10-15 minutes prior to blending, which helps with digestibility and texture of the smoothie.

The chocolate hazelnut spread (don’t use unhealthy Nutella!) gives this dessert like smoothie a rich flavor that will leave you satisfied for hours!

    This is really yummy and I’m surprised How good Vega One is. I’ve tried so many Vegan protein powders that are just horrible. I will be adding this brand to my rotation. The only downer was that it came out kind of thick, so I added a little bit of water, so no biggie. So delicious.

    1. That’s how we felt until we tried Vega! Yes definitely make your smoothie to the consistency you like, everyone is different. ๐Ÿ™‚

    Wow I love this recipe. I’ll try this Nutty VEGA One Chocolate Chia Protein Smoothie. Looks so delicious!

    Glad you liked it! We usually drink the whole thing as a meal replacement (1 person) but you can always drink as much as you want and save or share the rest! ๐Ÿ™‚
