Ingredients

2 cups unsweetened almond milk
1 cup ice cubes
1/2 cup hemp protein powder
1/4 cup chocolate hazelnut spread
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

Add all ingredients to your blender.
Blend on high for 30-40 seconds until smooth.
Pour into two tall glasses and enjoy!

Notes

If you're watching your sugar intake, you can cut down on the maple syrup and replace it with a few drops of liquid stevia, if desired.
You can adjust the ice based on how cold/icy you like your smoothies. I personally prefer a lot less ice, and I use about half of what this recipe calls for. It's a little creamier that way.
If you don't have chocolate hazelnut spread, you can substitute peanut butter instead - double the cocoa powder to keep it nice and chocolate-y.

Why These Ingredients:

I chose Nature's Way Hemp Protein Powder because it's pure hemp protein seed powder - and that's it. No flavors or additives or anything else I don't want to be eating.
I absolutely love Nutiva's Chocolate Hazelnut Spread because it contains 40% less sugar than the leading brand - plus it's vegan!
