I’ve never had a huge sweet tooth. Given the choice between a bag of chips and a donut, 9 times out of 10 I’ll snatch the bag of chips (kettle-cooked Salt & Vinegar, please) out of your hand. I’ve realized not much fruit has ever been a part of my diet, so now I’m trying to incorporate a fair amount, while still watching how much sugar I consume. That being said, I do love chocolate. A world without chocolate is just not a place I care to live in.
A few weeks ago I was scrolling through Pinterest, and saw these beautiful smoothie bowls topped with not only fruit, but all kinds of seeds, nuts, coconut and so much more. I decided that I wanted to make a smoothie bowl of my own, but using my Herbalife protein powder and meal replacement shakes. This recipe will hopefully be the first of many!
*note: I didn’t even intend this to look so patriotic. It just kind of happened…
Chocolate Protein Smoothie Bowl
Serves: 1
Prep Time: 20 mins
For the smoothie:
1 cup unsweetened vanilla Almond Milk
1 scoop of Herbalife Vanilla Protein Powder
2 scoops of Herbalife Dutch Chocolate Meal Replacement Powder
1/4 tsp of Pure Vanilla Extract
5 large ice cubes
For the toppings:
Granola
Chia Seeds
Sliced Almonds

…and whatever else you want!
Directions:
It’s pretty simple… Combine your almond milk, powders, and vanilla extract into a blender, and puree. Add one ice cube at a time until your smoothie is the consistency you want. Pour into a bowl, and top with your favorite ingredients!
