Delicious, nourishing and ready in just a few minutes, this Chocolate Banana Protein Smoothie is an easy one to add to your morning rotation.
Frozen banana, nut butter and SANA’s Rich Chocolate Grounding Protein come together for a smooth, creamy blend that’s easy to enjoy at breakfast or after movement.
Enjoy it on busy mornings, after a walk or Pilates class, or whenever you need something quick and satisfying.
Why Add Protein to Your Morning Smoothie?
Protein plays an important role in maintaining and building muscle, supporting recovery and helping your body function at its best - making it something worth considering beyond the post-workout window.
Adding protein powder to a morning smoothie is a simple way to increase your daily protein intake, particularly on busy mornings when preparing a protein-rich breakfast might not happen.
SANA’s Grounding Protein Blend in Rich Chocolate provides 22g of protein per serve, alongside 2,500mg of marine collagen, hyaluronic acid and digestive enzymes.
It means your morning smoothie can do a little more: supporting muscle and recovery while providing targeted nutrients to support healthy skin, hair and nails.
A Protein Smoothie for After Movement
Protein helps support the maintenance and growth of muscle mass, while providing the amino acids your body needs for muscle repair and recovery after exercise.
And movement doesn’t have to mean an intense exercise session. It might look like Pilates, a morning walk, swimming, yoga or strength training.
Whatever movement looks like for you, this chocolate protein smoothie is an easy, delicious addition to your routine.
