A quick and easy Protein Smoothie Recipe loaded with chocolate and peanut butter. Perfect for a quick breakfast or snack!
I’m really excited for today’s post!
Do ya’ll know Julia from The Roasted Root?
If you don’t, you should! Andddd now you will!
You guys, I love this girlie. She has ah-may-zing recipes that are incredibly healthy, without compromising on the yummy-get-in-my-belly-right-now factor. She also takes absolutely gorgeous photos… seriously, they will make your eyesies SO happy. If that’s not enough for you, she is also HILARIOUS. Her posts, ohmygosh. My face hurts just thinking about all the laughter.
As if she needed to accomplish anything else, Julia wrote a cookbook! This lovely book is Called “Delicious Probiotic Drinks” and is filled with so many yummy, healthy recipes and pretty pictures!
The contents of her book are tons of recipes for probiotic drinks (obviously) like Kombucha, Kefir, Ginger Beer and lots of other naturally fermented drinks. Guys, I am pretty sure that drinks his healthy have never ever tasted so good until Julia came along.
To celebrate her new book, I decided to give one of her protein smoothie recipes a try! I picked the Chocolate Protein Smoothie because, as proven with the healthy homemade peanut butter cups and oatmeal breakfast bars, I obsess over anything with chocolate, peanut butter AND PROTEIN.
You guys, this recipe was SO EASY. Look, there is 1 STEP! 1 step to delicious, creamy, smoothie heaven. The hubs and I LOVED this smoothie. It’s the perfect quick breakfast or filling snack.
You know what’s even more exciting? Julia is SO nice that she is going to give one of you lucky peeps a Delicious Probiotic Drinks cookbook for FREE! YAY!

Good luck and enjoy this protein smoothie recipe!

Yippyyyyy! I love that smoothie!! Thanks so much for sharing one of my recipes and my cookbook with your Food Faith Fitnessers!!! Big squeezes, love! Big squeezes!
Tate says
It’s SO good girl, you ROCKED it! You are so so welcome 🙂 xoxo
Candy says
Is there a substitute for the banana?
Taylor Kiser says
Unfortunately, this isn’t my recipe..it is from the book that is listed in the post, so I can’t say for sure. You could contact julia at http://www.theroastedroot.net and ask? My recommendation would be to sub whatever frozen fruit you like, it just won’t be as creamy as most fruit has a higher water content than bananas. Hope that helps!
Phi @ The Sweetphi Blog says
This looks sooo delicious! My husband totally loves smoothies and I’m trying to love them more, but with chocolate and peanut butter? Yes, count me in, I can totally see myself loving this! Beautiful pictures as well, makes me want some right now 🙂
Tate says
Haha I am with you. I like smoothie but I would rather chew my food. My husband? He could swim in smoothies all day…he’s obsessed! I got into this due to the chocolate and pb though!
Thanks so much Phi, you’re the sweetest!

Kara Hoerr @ RD in the Midwest says
Mmmm..yum! I make a smoothie similar to this, but I’ve never made it with cocoa powder in it…now I’m wondering why I haven’t and why I hadn’t thought of that?! I’ve never used kefir, but I might have to give it a try.
Tate says
Cocoa powder makes everything better girlfriend! 🙂
Amy says
The way you described Julia — delicious healthy recipes without sacrificing flavor, stunning photographs, and hilarious laugh-until-your-abs-hurt — is exactly what I think about YOUR blog! I love how I can click over to read one of your posts when I’m exhausted, falling asleep on my keyboard, and propping my eyes open with toothpicks… And your cute wit and hilarious personality always bring a smile to my face and bright my day! (Or midnight, whichever.) So sweet of the two of you to host a giveaway for such an amazing cookbook!
Tate says
THANK YOU AMY. You seriously know what a girl needs to hear on a rough day!
I love you.
But I don’t love that you hold your eyeballs open with toothpicks.That could go horribly wrong girlfriend!
Try q-tips.
Amy says
You’re welcome lovely! 🙂 You are BRILLIANT!! I never thought of q-tips before. Thank goodness I stocked up on the supersized package at Target last time I went… I’m ready for applying makeup, fixing nail polish, and propping open my eyeballs for the rest of my life! 😉
