Vegan Protein Smoothie...

[Cory]

I figured I would post this as I nearly went bizerk over it.

Trial and error led me to this beauty...

2 cups coconut milk (I use unsweet)
1 banana
3 cups kale
2 scoops protein powder (I use Jarrows Plant Formula - pea/hemp/rice isolate)
3 tbsp fair trade cocoa powder
2 tbsp peanut butter (I use unsalted/unsweet)
A few drops of whole leaf stevia/or one packet

Tastes (and looks) like a chocolate smoothie - BAM! SCORE!

This is a GREAT post work out shake. I mean, it's totally BOMB!

Is that not more of a FAT smoothie?
Coconut milk / cocoa powder / PB

And? Fat doesn't make you fat. I am 8% body fat. 8%. I drink this shake 4 times a week and have not gained an ounce of fat. My blood tests are also, stellar.

I really hate this crap. FAT DOESN'T MAKE YOU FAT. Fat is also not unhealthy.

What might be "crap" for you, is a question for me.

If I only had 8 % body fat, I would also not mind

Well, it's got a good bit of protein, it sounds like, which is something some vegans struggle to fit into their diet. If they were worried about fat or calories, I suppose they could switch the coconut milk with soya milk etc.

This sounds like an awesome smoothie!
For my tastes I would go for cashew butter

Sound good to me, except I think Stevia tastes awful so I'd use sugar. Or sweetened coconut milk.

I make something similar minus the cacao. I like adding sf pancake syrup ( or Maple syrup) and Jarrow's soya isolate powder plus a frozen banana.

I like NuNatural liquid stevia as a sweetener. I often like to blend stevia with sucralose as it adds to the sweetness.
