For this recipe, I use Tony Steirs Chocolate flavoured 'Pea Protein'. I have recently changed to a vegetarian diet and have greatly reduced my intake of dairy and other animal product.
(You can use which ever brand you prefer.)
"100% Pea Protein Isolate is a Premium Vegan/Vegetarian Quality Protein Powder.
It is pure and contains no Artificial Flavours, Colours, Preservatives or Sweeteners and is naturally free from wheat, gluten, lactose, soy, egg and animal products"
Ingredients
- 2 Tbs Protein powder
- 300ml of Vanilla 'So Good' Soy milk (which I use) or regular soy, coconut milk, almond milk, rice milk or dairy milk.
- 1 Small banana
- 1 Tbs Pure, Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil (Cold pressed)
- 3-4 Ice cubes
- 1 Tbs Raw Cacao Powder (or any other chocolate powder/milo)
- 2 Tbs Raw Rolled Oats
Method
- First up, gently heat Coconut Oil in the microwave if yours has solidified. It usually take 10 seconds in mine. In the warm months, it's usually liquid any - so in which case, skip this step!
- Add milk, protein powder, banana, cacao powder, oats and ice to a blender and blend until smooth.
- Gradually add in the coconut oil whilst blending. This step is important as if you throw it all in together, your coconut oil will solidify and leave you with a clumpy smoothie!
- Enjoy!
