Vegan Recovery Smoothie

Who doesn't love chocolate and banana together? I call this the recovery smoothie because it is perfect as an post workout snack. With about 20g of protein and plenty of vitamins - it's an ideal drink to help rebuild your body. 


I use Navitas Naturals raw cacao powder and Garden of Life raw protein powder. I have tried a lot of protein powders and find this one to be the best (and most natural). It's organic, raw and contains a lot of essential amino acids. Other protein powders contain a lot of chemicals and sugars that are of no use to the body. I don't use sweetener but if you'd like to add some honey or stevia, you are welcome to.

  2. Awesome! I've been looking for an alternative to the ISO Gold protein powder we've been using. I like the almond milk in your recipe too!
