☕ What’s Inside — Ingredients & How to Make It

2. Blend until smooth and creamy.

3. Serve over ice and enjoy!

🌟 Why This Smoothie Works — Nutrition, Energy & Balance

Protein + Plant-Based Fuel

Thanks to Chocho protein, this smoothie delivers complete, high-quality plant protein — including all essential amino acids — supporting muscle maintenance, recovery, and overall nourishment. As a whole-food source rather than a heavy isolate, Chocho brings protein plus fiber, micronutrients, and gentle digestibility.

Caffeine + Stable Energy Release

The espresso brings a clean caffeine boost — ideal for mental clarity and energy. Unlike plain coffee, combining it with fiber, protein, and healthy carbs helps slow metabolic absorption, reducing the risk of the typical “coffee crash.” Integris Health+1

Antioxidants, Mood Support & Heart Health from Cacao

Cacao is packed with flavonoids and antioxidants that support heart health, circulation, and antioxidant defenses. WebMD+2To'ak Chocolate+2

Balanced Nutrition — Better Than Just Coffee or a Simple Protein Shake

Rather than choosing between caffeine or protein, this smoothie gives you both — in a balanced, whole-food, plant-based package. It’s great for mornings, pre-workout, or any time you need a clean boost.

🥤 When & How to Use It

• As a morning starter — full meal replacement or breakfast on busy days

• Pre-workout fuel — protein + caffeine for energy and muscle support

• Midday pick-me-up — satisfying snack that supports focus and energy

• Post-workout recovery — protein for muscle repair plus hydration

Because it’s light, naturally sweet (banana), and quick to make, this smoothie fits into busy lifestyles — perfect for athletes, professionals, and anyone in between.
