Chocolate Sun Warrior Protein Smoothie

Chocolate Sun Warrior Protein SmoothieAre you looking to get some additional protein into your diet, or perhaps in need of a good protein source after working out? This recipe, featuring my number one protein supplement, will allow you to get that additional protein along with other vital nutrients in one delicious smoothie.

There are a large number of protein supplements on the market today, most of which aren’t worth your hard earned dollars. When people ask me, which is quite often, what protein powder I use in my smoothies, the answer is simple: Sun Warrior. Here are a few of the reasons why I love Sun Warrior protein.

  • Tastes great, blends well, and no gritty nonsense (flavors include chocolate (my fav), vanilla, and natural)
  • It’s 85% protein with a complete amino acid profile
  • Easy to digest and absorb for maximum results
  • Organic, Gluten Free, Hypo-Allergenic, and Non-GMO
  • Contains other vitamins and minerals, it’s not just protein

This smoothie is perfect after an intense workout, or as a protein rich meal replacement. You’ll deliver a good amount of protein that your body can assimilate and put to use in a relatively short amount of time. I find the chocolate flavor blends well in almost any recipe, especially in conjunction with banana, berries, and cacao.
