Chocolate Breakfast Smoothie Recipe – Easy Low Carb, Keto, Sugar Free, Paleo & Vegan Smoothies Recipes.
Chocolate Breakfast Smoothie
This Chocolate Breakfast Smoothie Recipe is really quick and easy to put together and tastes like you’re enjoying a decadent dessert for breakfast.
I love my Nutribullet for making smoothies. I can prepare, blend and drink the smoothie all in the same cup, making it easy to enjoy smoothies with little fuss. (And less washing up!) (Find Nutribullets on Amazon.)
Smoothie Ingredients List
You can adapt the recipe to suit your own personal dietary requirements and tastes, here are some ideas:
Milk – use a dairy free milk if you’re vegan or paleo and make sure it’s unsweetened and low in carbs if you’re following a keto diet.
Protein Powder – you can use whatever protein powder you usually enjoy in your diet. Be sure it’s dairy free if your paleo or vegan and low in sugars if you’re keto. (Here’s a Low Carb Vegan Protein Powder on Amazon.)
My protein powder also happens to be chocolate flavored, but you could just as easily use a vanilla flavored protein powder too. Just add more cocoa powder to make it extra chocolatey.
Almond Butter – I adore including a teaspoon of almond butter in my breakfast smoothie because it adds in extra natural protein, healthy fats and makes it wonderfully creamy. You can swap the almond butter for peanut butter or another nut butter if you like. Or, leave it out if you prefer.
Chia Seeds – have been included for added fiber, healthy fats and the incredible nutrition that chia seeds are made up of. You really don’t notice them in the smoothie because they are completely blended in, so it’s a great way to include the healthy seed in your diet without making a chia pudding.
Stevia – it’s my sweetener of choice, feel free to swap in your sugar or sweetener that you usually use. I find the smoothie needs just a teaspoon for the perfect sweetness for me. You may prefer more or less, depending on how sweetened your other ingredients are.
If you’re not on a low carb diet, you could also blend a medjool date into this smoothie for an amazingly sweet smoothie with extra added fiber.
Cocoa Powder – use cocoa or cacao powder for the chocolate element. I used about a half a tablespoon, you can add more to make it more rich and chocolatey. You could also add in a chopped square of chocolate too.
