Superfood Chocolate PB Chia Smoothie + Amazing Grass Giveaway!

We all know that eating a healthy diet tends to most often be associated with looking good, but there’s more to eating well than the physical results of those smart choices. Fueling with high-quality foods that nourish my body help me to not just survive, but to thrive. With every task and moment of my day, from completing a writing assignment to finishing a challenging workout, consuming a high-quality diet enables my body and mind to perform at its best.

The concept is simple: If you constantly eat crap, your body is going to (eventually) respond to your low-quality diet by feeling tired, lethargic and gaining weight, among other things. If you consistently fuel your body right with high-quality food, your body should respond by feeling amazing. The millions of cells that make up our bodies are constantly regenerating, and just what our newest cells are made of is dependent on the food we’ve been fueling it with.

One major way that I make sure to fuel properly is by following my #1 diet trick of eating fruits and/or veggies at every single meal. I eat a ton of whole foods, and since I lead a very active, busy lifestyle, I also consume a smoothie almost daily that’s supplemented with a high-quality protein. Lately I’ve been using the Protein Superfood from Amazing Grass, and today I’m teaming up with them to bring you a superfood smoothie recipe & giveaway!

Amazing Grass has been growing, harvesting, and dehydrating organic greens at its family farm in Kansas for over 50 years. All of their products are plant-based, non-GMO, and sustainably farmed, and the new Protein Superfood line is a complete plant-based protein made with greens, fruits & veggies.

Their organic Protein Superfood powders contain hemp, chia, quinoa, and pea protein, along with 7 alkalizing greens and 9 nutrient-dense fruits & veggies (including wheat, barley, & alfalfa grass, acai & goji, pineapple, sweet potato & more!). They’re also gluten free and contain no added sugars. THIS is the kind of high-quality fuel that I’m talking about!

The Protein Superfood line includes vanilla, original, and chocolate peanut butter flavors, and being the chocolate & nut butter lover that I am, I naturally chose the chocolate PB to try out.

This smoothie features my favorite blender fruit, the potassium-rich banana, along with omega-3 and fiber-rich chia seeds. Many people are deficient in fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, and chia seeds are a great way to sneak both into your diet! The smoothie also includes two of my favorite ingredients that add in flavor without calories, cinnamon + vanilla extract.

This superfood recipe has been fueling my healthy on-the-go lifestyle, and I hope that you try it out too!
