Chocolate... for breakfast

This post is has nothing to do with cooking or baking... oops.

I am addicted to the Lean1 protein powder that is made by Nutrition 53.  It comes in flavors like Chocolate (nom), Cookies & Cream, Strawberry and Vanilla.  They are jam packed with vitamins, minerals and the best part is, they are all lactose free.  Smoothie King sells it at their stores and I tend to go in there for my fix, but recently I brought the powder home to experiment with a few of my own concoctions.  I also found out that Smoothie King adds sugar to their smoothies (seriously!) so I wanted to make my own from home.

Here are a few of my favorites that I've made with the chocolate protein:

Heaven in a Cup
1 cup ice
2 scoops chocolate Lean1 powder
1/2 banana
1/2 single serve container of plain fat free Greek yogurt
4 oz water

Combine and blend (do yourself a favor and get a Ninja blender... they are the best)
310 calories, 29g protein, 24g sugar, 7g fat

Chocolate Covered Strawberry
1 cup ice
2 scoops chocolate Lean1 powder
6 large strawberries
1/2 single serve container of plain fat free Greek yogurt

Combine and blend
295 calories, 29g protein, 19g sugar, 7 g fat

You get the point... add fruit and yogurt to this chocolate wonder and you have one delicious meal on the go!
