Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
- 1 scoop chocolate whey protein powder approximately 30g
- 0.5 cup frozen strawberries for thickness and flavor
- 0.5 frozen banana sliced before freezing for easier blending
- 1 tbsp creamy almond butter adds a biscuit-like nutty undertone
- 1 tsp cocoa powder unsweetened for extra richness
- 2 sticks Chocolate Pocky crushed for garnish
- 0.25 cup ice cubes optional for a frostier texture
Notes
To make this vegan, use a plant-based chocolate protein powder and vegan-friendly biscuit sticks. For a lower-calorie version, omit the almond butter and use extra strawberries. This smoothie can be prepped as a 'smoothie pack' by freezing the dry fruit ahead of time.
