My new protein powder trick

[NRG Woman]

I was making a shake with my protein powder yesterday and sort of pouting because I wanted it more chocolatey. So I added 1 tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder (15 cal) and some stevia and it was wonderful. I read recently that cocoa powder can help reduce inflammation in the body so I have been trying to figure out how to add it to my day. This is perfect!

I admit that my suggestion is a bit more 'unclean' than cocoa powder, but when I'm making a chocolate smoothie with chocolate protein powder and almond milk, I add in 1T of f/f s/f chocolate pudding mixture (the dry powder). It helps make it a bit thicker AND chocolatey!

Yum!

Thanks for the tip. Tried it earlier today, and it really boosted the chocolate factor in my protein shake. I'd been using chocolate syrup o). I'll stick with the cleaner alternative from here on out.
