This chocolate protein smoothie is simple, nutritious and so delicious! It's a great way to start your day and can help support your health and weight loss goals. This smoothie recipe has a great balance of protein, healthy fats and plant-based carbohydrates to keep you feeling satiated for hours.
Baby spinach is the perfect green to sneak into a protein shake because it's sweet and mild in flavor. If you wanted something bolder, you can try swapping in some kale or chard. I also love how the cauliflower makes this protein shake extra creamy (and sneaks in an extra veggie!) so good!

CHOCOLATE PROTEIN SHAKE for weight loss
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
A handful baby spinach
1 serving chocolate protein powder I use Tera’s Whey – 2 scoops is one serving
1 tablespoon cacao or cocoa powder
3/4 cup frozen cauliflower
1/2Â frozen banana
1 tablespoon almond butter
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Pop everything in a blender and blend until rich and creamy!
NOTES
You can use any liquid you like for this smoothie; oat milk, coconut milk, soy milk, and or water all work well.
I prefer the taste of whey protein, but a plant-based protein powder works well too.
