A creamy, cold, chocolate smoothie! This satisfying snack (or dessert!) is super healthy and full to the brim with antioxidants and superfoods like leafy greens, mixed berries, chia seeds, hemp hearts & raw cacao.
I think one of the hardest things about eating a minimally processed diet is that I always struggle with finding healthy snack foods when I am hungry. I finally think I found a new go-to! I use gelatin collagen protein in my smoothies since it is a very clean source of protein. I don’t use protein powders since I can’t pronounce about 75% of the ingredients listed on their labels and collagen protein is also amazing for your hair, skin and nails. Win!
