Protein Packed Chocolate Vegan Smoothie

Several months ago my husband and completed 19 days of the 21 day Sugar Detox challenge.  Yes, I admit that we did not make it through the full 21 days.  :(

I would describe the 21 day Sugar Detox chalenge as a "Paleo diet on steroids".  It was a hard challenge!  I found that I did not miss bread or sugar at all.  However, I did miss chocolate!!! To get through this challenge my husband I both made ourselves chocolate smoothies using green bananas. They were decent at the time.

Now that the challenge is over I have modified our original creation to make it more appealing and higher in protein.  This smoothie makes a great post-work out drink!




Ingredients

1 cup of almond milk or coconut milk
1 very ripe banana
1 TBS almond butter
1 TBS cocoa powder
1/2 TBS milled flax seed
2 cups ice cubes

Place all ingredients, except the ice in a blender.  Blend on high until smooth.  Add in ice and blend again.

Serve immediately.
