There are 28 grams of healthy protein in this super-delicious smoothie. Great for breakfast or any time of the day.
The pretzels in this recipe might seem to be a bit strange in a protein shake, but they add a touch of salt that really brings out the chocolate and peanut butter flavors. And then using cacao nibs instead of chocolate chips in this smoothie makes it a lot healthier with more texture.
Here’s a great article about cacao nibs if you are interested in learning more about all of the health benefits such as the antioxidants and fiber found in cacao nibs.
