Powerhouse Creamy Chocolate Protein Shake recipe (vegan and sugar-free)

So good!

Ingredients:
1 serving protein powder of choice (I usually use non-gmo pea protein)
1 cup unsweetened almond milk (preferably homemade)
1/2 can organic coconut milk or 1 small can coconut cream (optional)
1/4 to 1/2 Haas avocado
2 TBS organic raw cacao or cocoa powder
A few chunks organic red beets (optional)
1 TBS Renew Life Organic Fiber Clear (optional)
1 scoop Thorne L-Glutamine Powder (optional)
1 tsp organic vanilla extract
2-3 scoops Vitamin Shoppe Organic Stevia Extract powder
Dash of sea salt
5 cubes of ice

Instructions:
  1. Into your blender container pour in the coconut milk and almond milk.
  2. Add the rest of the ingredients, except protein powder, and 3 ice cubes.
  3. Turn the blender on until the ingredients are mixed, smoothly.
  4. Add the remaining 2 ice cubes to the smoothie and the protein powder. Turn the blender on, one final time.
You can use this as 2 servings or as a meal for 1 person.
