Are you in a hurry to get out the door in the morning but still want to have a nutritious breakfast? This metabolism-boosting chocolate almond shake is for you! It’s quick and easy to make, and it will give you sustained energy throughout the day. Plus, it tastes delicious!

Breakfast shakes are so satisfying and filling plus you can take them on the go! We consider a breakfast shake an essential part of our morning because:

  2. It primes your metabolism.
  3. It sets you up for a clear, clean pattern of eating for the day.

This three-step process ensures you blend a metabolism-boosting breakfast!

Step-By-Step Instructions

Step 1: Begin with Core Shake Ingredients

  • 1 – 2 Scoops of high-quality Protein Powder. Your powder should be between 15-25g of protein, less than 6g of carbohydrate, less than 2 grams of sugar, and preferably at least 2 grams of dietary fiber.
    We like whey or pea protein the best. Here are my two favorites: Whey Protein and Vega Protein & Greens
  • 1 Tablespoon Chia and/or Flax Seed. This adds some healthy omega-3s and fiber to your shake. {optional}
  • 4–8+ Ounces Dairy-Free Liquid. You may use one liquid alone or a combination of two different liquids (i.e. half water and half unsweetened almond milk. You may use less liquid if you prefer a thicker consistency to your shake. Add more liquid if you prefer a thinner consistency shake. Dairy-free liquid choices include Water, coconut milk, or unsweetened plain almond milk.

Step 2: Choose Some Add-Ins

The add-ins for your chocolate weight loss smoothie will give you some incredible nourishment for your day. Adding powerful nutrients in the form of fiber and/or fat will help keep you satiated and satisfied for several hours! Perfect! No snacking on empty calories! I recommend you choose at least 2 items from the list below:

  • 1⁄2 ripe avocado
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened coconut flakes
  • 1⁄2–1 ounce nuts (i.e. almonds, cashews, walnuts) or 1 Tablespoon nut or seed butter (i.e. almond or cashew butter)
  • 1 scoop of Green SuperFood or Reds powder
  • 1 tablespoon flaxseed Oil
  • 1 tablespoon Hempseed 

Update: If you like peanut butter, then you have to try PB Fit. It’s great in this shake instead of the almond butter. It’s our new favorite thing. Unlike high-fat regular peanut butter, PB Fit has only 1.5 grams of fat per serving/55 calories. It tastes great too!

Step 3: Blend and Enjoy!

Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to drink. 

Recipe Tips

  • If you want to mix up your routine, try adding ground cinnamon to your shake. 
  • You can use dairy milk in the recipe if you prefer.
