Cookies and Cream Smoothie
It is 2023 and we are no longer drinking smoothies that don’t taste DELICIOUS. This smoothie is packed with protein and would be great for a snack post workout or between meals!
This recipe features my favorite protein powder that you have likely seen me use by now. The product is from UP2U nutrition and it’s always my go to, for two major reasons:
It's unflavored so it fits into any recipe adding a powerful 17g of protein per serving
It's third party tested so I know what's actually in it! It has that informed sport label right on it!
This product is available on Amazon and you can use code UP2UJENNAW for 15% off your purchase. Our blog and my tiktok have a ton of recipes featuring the powder to keep you excited and busy!
PLUS this smoothie has:
Chia seeds: great source of fiber, antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids
Dates: loaded with fiber, antioxidants, and have a sweet, caramel flavor
Cacao: a tiny bit of caffeine, about 25 mg, plus antioxidants
All in all, this smoothie is health promoting without compromising on flavor (you can thank me later!).
INGREDIENTS:
2% milk
Ice
1 date
1 tbsp chia seeds
1 tbsp cacao
1 scoop UP2U Nutrition
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
DIRECTIONS:
Blend and enjoy!
