- 1 tbsp whey concentrate or isolate protein powder or add a vegan chocolate powder
1 tbsp (15 mL) cacao nibs (Add once done and pulse for a crunchy smoothie)
Instructions
In a blender, combine all the ingredients except the ice and cacao nibs.
Add ice to about 1 inch (2.5 cm) above the liquid line.

Serve topped with cacao nibs or blitz the nibs for a second or two to mix.
Hemp seeds can also be added last without including into the blender. Be generous as these seeds provide abundant nutrition and protein.
