Why we love Chocolate Raspberry Protein Smoothie Recipe

Mmmm… we can not get enough of this Chocolate Raspberry Protein Smoothie at our house! It’s delightfully yummy and your family will not guess that it’s so nutritious!

Chocolate Raspberry Protein Smoothie has many of my favorite things–raspberries, chocolate proteins, and chia seeds! 🙂

What are Chia Seeds?

In our house, we love to add chia seeds to just about any beverage– it’s especially good in flavored water and smoothies! Chia seeds are an excellent source of Omega 3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and fiber!

• Chia Seeds- Despite their small size, chia seeds are full of important nutrients. They are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, rich in antioxidants, and they provide fiber, iron, and calcium. Omega-3 fatty acids help raise HDL cholesterol, the “good” cholesterol that protects against heart attack and stroke.

We LOVE chia seeds!!! We hope to spread that love to all of you and your families as well. 🙂

Ingredients in Chocolate Raspberry Protein Smoothie Recipe

• Raspberries- are low in calories but high in fiber, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. They may protect against diabetes, cancer, obesity, arthritis and other conditions and may even provide anti-aging effects.

• Almond milk- is an excellent and natural source of vitamin E, which is a fat-soluble antioxidant that helps protect your body from free radical damage. Some varieties are fortified with calcium and vitamin D, which are important nutrients for bone health.

• Almond Butter- is a good source of the healthy monounsaturated fats our bodies need. These fats are associated with lowering the risk of heart disease. Eating almonds offers antioxidant action from Vitamin E and helps lower cholesterol.

• Chia Seeds- Despite their small size, chia seeds are full of important nutrients. They are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, rich in antioxidants, and they provide fiber, iron, and calcium. Omega-3 fatty acids help raise HDL cholesterol, the “good” cholesterol that protects against heart attack and stroke.

• Chocolate Protein Powder- There are many kinds of protein powders available on the market- I like to use a whey based protein powder. Whey protein is generally safe and can help you build muscle and strength, lose weight, reduce your appetite and boost your metabolism.
