Chocolate Strawberry Banana Smoothie from BlendHappy | No Meat Athlete

Perhaps I got a bit carried away with the instructions — when Heather asked what type of smoothie would work best, I mentioned that it should be vegan.  Oh, and that it should have 4-to-1 carb-to-protien ratio, so we could drink it post workout.  And, oh yeah, if you wouldn't mind, could you use hemp protein too, since I'm not a big fan of soy or rice protein?

Someone with less patience might have told me to f-off, you psycho granola-crunchie.  But Heather didn't complain a bit.  Instead, she did me one better and threw in some coconut manna and greens powder, two other favorite smoothie ingredients of mine.

Here's the video Heather put together for us, and the pre/post-workout smoothie she came up with!

Chocolate Strawberry Banana Smoothie Recipe

Here are those ingredients again:

• 1 banana
• 2 handfuls of strawberries
• 4 tablespoons chocolate hemp protein powder
• 1/2 cup oatmeal powder
• 1-2 tablespoons coconut manna
• 2 cups almond milk
• 1 scoop greens powder
• agave nectar, to taste

If you can't find chocolate hemp powder, you can just throw in some cacao nibs or carob chips.  I do that all the time.  And notice Heather's smoothie perfectly fits my smoothie formula, so you can create lots of variations on it.
