Hello All. I went for a hot summer run this morning, and was craving something cold, chocolatey and creamy ! This smoothie fit the bill ! Plus it has all the goodness of plant protein by Vega as well as added heath benefits form the flaxseed and maca powder.
- 2 bananas, frozen
- 1 c. coconut water
- 1 c. frozen strawberries
- 1 packet of Vega Sport Protein Powder in Chocolate
- 1 t. maca powder
- 1 T. flaxseed, ground
- Coconut flakes, for garnish
Throw all ingredients in to the blender and whiz up and enjoy !
This smoothie strikes a nice balance between being too chocolate-y for morning drinking and just being fruity enough to pass for a breakfast. I really enjoyed it. I think it would also be very good with the addition of almond-milk in place of the coconut water.
I drank this outside in the heat, humidity and warm sun. I was not alone, Hazel enjoyed sunning herself too. Her belly is the same color as the smoothie in the right lighting.
This frosty was nice a thick, you could eat it with a spoon and avoid the brain freeze, but what fun is that?
