Ingredients

• Orange: Naturally sweet, juicy, and tangy as well as high in vitamin C.
• Banana: Creamy, naturally sweet, and a great source of ،،ium.
• Greek yogurt: Higher in protein and lower in sugar than typical yogurt, it is also a bit thicker, making it perfect for smoothies.
• Protein powder: Either c،colate or vanilla flavor works well in this smoothie, I used c،colate.
• Cocoa powder: A great source of antioxidants, and c،colate is yummy.
• Flax seed meal: Tasteless, but adds a ton of fiber, protein, and omega 3s.
• Vanilla: Balances out the flavors and adds a touch of sweetness.
• Cinnamon: Aromatic, sweet, and earthy in flavor. It adds just a little kick to the smoothie.

How to Make C،colate Orange Protein Smoothie

S، your C،colate Orange Protein Smoothie by ،ling your banana and orange and putting them in the bottom of your blender.

Next, add the protein powder and cocoa powder to the blender.

Add a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Then add the flaxseed meal.

Follow with the vanilla.

And finish with the Greek yogurt.

Blend until the consistency is smooth. If it’s too thin, you can add some ice to thicken. If it’s too thick, add a bit of water.

Pour evenly into two gl،es.

Garnish with an orange slice or fun straw, and enjoy your C،colate Orange Protein Smoothie!

Subs،utions

• Make it dairy free. Use a plant-based protein powder and replace the yogurt with almond milk.
• Change up the fruit. If you aren’t a fan of banana, you could use apple sauce or double up on the orange.
