This smoothie is one of my go-tos. It is thick, creamy and so delicious!
I’m not always the biggest fan of smoothies and shakes as I find that they don’t tend to keep me full very long. As a quick breakfast, shakes are a great go-t0 but I also find that if I don’t have a significant source of protein… again, hungry way too soon. This one provides a good combo of protein from the Greek yogurt and nuts or nut butter and fiber from the chia seeds give it some good staying power.

Pin RecipeDescription
This smoothie seriously tastes like a chocolate milkshake. And it’s packed with Omega-3s, protein, calcium and naturally sweetened with a date!
Scale
Ingredients
- 1/2–1 cup almond milk (adjust to desired thickness)
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tbsp cocoa
- 1/2 cup 0% plain Greek yogurt
- 1 small banana, sliced and frozen
- 1 tbsp nut butter (I used coconut peanut butter)
- 1 medjool date (or 2 regular dates, they are a bit smaller) or a splash of honey if desired for sweetness
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth, about 30-45 seconds. Add more milk if needed for desired consistency.
Notes
