This high protein warming smoothie is packed with nourishing ingredients to help support a body recomposition and weight loss goal.
Today’s recipe was developed by AEN Team member, Katy. Katy lives in a part of the midwest that gets quite chilly during the fall and winter months. And although it’s not smoothie weather, Katy still wanted her protein-packed smoothie bowls!
To solve this problem, she developed her Warming Mocha Smoothie Bowl that has all the same ingredients as her usual AEN approved protein, fat and fiber rich smoothie, but in a warming bowl version instead.
This smoothie is packed with 30 grams of complete high quality protein while still giving you all those chocolate-y mocha vibes.
So if you live in an area that gets chilly weather this time of year, you’re going to love Katy’s Warming Mocha Smoothie Bowl with Chocolate Sauce!!
Key Ingredients:
Cacao
Cacao is the raw and unsweetened form of chocolate. It’s also sneakily very high in fiber. Just one ounce of cacao has about 9 grams of fiber! Cacao is naturally packed with antioxidants and provides a pleasant slightly bitter dark chocolate flavor.
Zero Sugar Vanilla Protein Powder
My zero sugar Vanilla Protein Powder adds a hint of sweetness without any added sugar by using 100% monk fruit (no sugar alcohols or stevia!).
Plus, we only use 100% whey protein isolate which is the lowest lactose form of whey protein.

Chia Seeds
Chia seeds are naturally very high in fiber with a whopping 7 grams per two tablespoons. Fiber helps to feed the good gut bacteria and raise the satiety hormone GLP-1.
Hemp seeds
Hemp seeds contain some plant-based anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acid in the form called ALA.
