Not only is this recipe absolutely delicious, it’s also packed with energy, nutrients, and antioxidants! Cacao is considered one of the highest-antioxidant foods on the planet. It’s full of magnesium, iron, manganese, and chromium and is also extremely high in the “bliss chemical” anandamide.

- 1 scoop chocolate protein powder (preferably vegan)
- Raspberries and shaved coconut (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
- Blend all ingredients until smooth.
- Pour into glass jug and top with fresh berries and shaved coconut.
- Enjoy!
