With 24g of protein, 10g of fibre and no protein powder, this high protein snickers smoothie is a powerhouse. The protein comes from organic soya milk and chia and hemp seeds. Great for a breakfast on the go or for post workout. 

Chia and hemp seeds are also great sources of fibre and omega 3 fatty acids as well as key vitamins and minerals. They are always great additions to smoothies and breakfast bowls, if you don’t want to add protein powder.

The chocolate flavour comes from organic raw cacao powder, which is not only delicious but also a great source of magnesium, zinc, copper as well as protein. Many people don’t know that cacao powder has 27g of protein per 100g, so a fabulous addition to your recipes for all sorts of reasons. 

It’s quite a large portion so great as a meal replacement. If you prefer, you can make 2 smaller portions. 

What ingredients to you need for a high protein snickers smoothie:

  • Organic unsweetened soya milk
  • Shelled hemp seeds
  • Chia seeds 
  • Banana 
  • Almond or peanut butter 
  • Raw cacao powder

It’s super easy to make so try it and let me know what you think!

Recipe tips

  • You can use any nut butter for these. Traditional peanut is good but also almond is a great choice. 
  • Try and use organic soya milk if you can for this recipe.  If not, any milk will work but soya has the most protein.
  • You don’t need the cacao nibs as toppings, I just added them for fun and a bit of crunch!

      Hi Louisa, you can just leave them out if you don’t have them (or add in a little protein powder).

    I haven’t tried cacao powder before. Do you have any recommendations as there are so many on the market!
    Thanks.
