Is this a shake, a smoothie? I’m not quite sure. I guess I’ll settle on smoothie only because it has a banana in it, but it is so delicious and chocolaty I want to call it a shake! Seriously, I am obsessed with this smoothie. I have left overs in my fridge teasing me.
The sweetness of the cocoa powder + cinnamon give your taste buds the sense of sweetness without giving your body all the added processed sugars. This smoothie does contain 12 grams of sugar, but it’s not from the cocoa powder like you would expect-it’s from the banana and almond milk. Actually, the natural cocoa powder only contains 10 calories per one serving (1 tablespoon) and 0 grams of sugar. The added 0% fat plain greek yogurt adds a boost of protein making this a great after gym snack!
