About This Recipe
The best thick and creamy chocolate protein smoothie! Packed protein, carbs, fruit, and veggies to help build muscle and optimize recovery! It makes the perfect easy post-workout smoothie that is easily customizable to fit your needs.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup milk ((I used unsweetened almond milk))
- 1 small sweet potato baked, cut & peeled, and frozen* ((6 ounces raw))
- 3/4 cup frozen cauliflower rice ((75 grams))
- 1/2 heaping cup frozen sweet cherries ((80 grams))
- 1 serving chocolate protein powder
- 1 tablespoon almond butter
- 1 tablespoon dark cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Prep your sweet potatoes if needed (this needs to be done in advance). Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and bake for 30-40 minutes until soft and can be pierced with a knife. Let cool for a few minutes and roughly cut into 1-2 inches pieces, peeling off the skin as you go. Place cut sweet potatoes on a parchment paper-lined dish in the freezer and let freeze overnight, or at least 4 hours.
- Blend your smoothie. Add all the ingredients to a high-powered blender (I used my Vitamix) and blend until smooth and creamy.
- Enjoy! Drink or top with some toppings and enjoy!
