I really like the flavors of fruit, chocolate and coffee, so I decided to put together a recipe for a delicious and energizing fruity mocha smoothie. This recipe works best if you have a powerful blender or better yet, a blender designed for making smoothies.

For this recipe I chose Dream Chocolate Protein Powder and Red Alert Anti-Oxidant Drink Powder for this recipe because I think they are the best tasting protein and energy drink powders available. You can also use other brands of powders.

Prep Time: 05 minutes
Ingredients:
  • 1 Scoop of Dream Chocolate Flavored Protein Powder
  • 1 Scoop Red Alert Anti-Oxidant Drink Powder
  • 5 ounces cold coffee
  • 2 ounces milk, soy milk, or rice milk
  • dash of cinnamon
  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups of ice
Preparation:
Place all of the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. You can use more or less ice to change the thickness of the smoothie. Makes one serving.

Nutrition Information:
One serving made with Dream Chocolate Protein Powder and Red Alert Anti-Oxidant Drink Powder plus 2 milk has:

  • 150 calories
  • 22 grams protein
  • 7 grams carbohydrate
  • 171 mg calcium
  • plus lots of anti-oxidants and probiotics.
Optional:

Add 1/2 banana, cut in pieces
