Who doesn't love a nutrient-packed smoothie that tastes like a chocolate frosty?

My delicious chocolate smoothie recipe has become one of my favorite go-to's: I seriously make it for my boyfriend and myself at least once a week—and he loves it, too. This blend contains ingredients with anti-inflammatory properties and important minerals like potassium and iron.*

How, you might ask? The secret ingredient is mindbodygreen's organic veggies+ green powder, which contains a USDA-certified organic whole foods blend with 31 powerhouse ingredients, including organic sea vegetables, dark leafy greens, root vegetables, and antioxidant-rich fruits. It even contains various ingredients that support digestion and gut health, including probiotics, prebiotic fibers, and digestive enzymes.* Anytime I can sneak in extra nutrition, I will, which is why I love using organic veggies+ in a variety of ways.*

In this recipe, I also mix in other nutritious ingredients, like bananas and almond butter, to create a well-rounded meal with protein, fat, and carbs. Plus, the addition of cocoa nibs provides a boost of iron and fiber—not to mention, flavor.

Bottom line: This nutritious chocolate smoothie is sure to keep you fueled up and feeling good.

Healthy Chocolate Smoothie Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 serving chocolate collagen (could use regular collagen and add 1 tbsp. cocoa powder)
  • 1 frozen banana (or a regular banana + a handful of ice)
  • 2 tbsp. creamy almond butter
  • 1 serving organic veggies+
  • 2 tsp. cocoa nibs

Method

Combine ingredients into a blender, and blend until smooth.

If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking medications, consult with your doctor before starting a supplement routine. It is always optimal to consult with a health care provider when considering what supplements are right for you.
