Today’s smoothie is an invention of the chocolate monster that lives inside of me. Here’s how I did this one. This was also featured on my Instagram account July 4th @rachelgetsindy.

1 cup kale

1 banana

2 tablespoons cocoa powder (do yourself a favor and buy a good quality one)

1 heaping tablespoon of Artisana Organics Raw Walnut Butter (this is so good it makes me want to cry a little…I can eat an entire jar in one setting if I put my mind to it)

1/4 cup Bob’s Red Mill Vanilla Protein Powder (this stuff is amazing as it doesn’t have stevia or other sugar substitutes, it uses monk fruit, but I suppose you could use some other protein powder)

3/4 cup 2% milk (you could definitely use coconut milk for vegan)

Handful of ice

Blend and enjoy!
