Me neither. How could any self-respecting chocoholic resist a low fat chocolate smoothie? It's another great way to sneak some dark chocolate into your life.

One sip and the rich cocoa flavor will hook you. You really won't care about the protein, potassium, vitamin c, and iron. But the strong banana flavor could be a problem.


Naked® Protein Smoothie

I discovered this chocolate smoothie in the refrigerated juice section of the grocery store. Chocolate in the juice aisle?

Intrigued, I investigated. Yes, it did contain chocolate and fruit. Hmmm... separately they're delicious, together, I'm not so sure. So I walked away.

But I didn't get far. I tried to resist, really I did, but I couldn't. So I returned to the display and grabbed a bottle.

It had an invitingly, rich, dark chocolate color. I took a sip. Mmmmm... chocolate. Then the banana flavor kicked in.

Not my favorite flavor combo, but the chocolate was good, really good. So I tried it again.

I really wanted to avail myself of all the good stuff listed in the nutrition facts.

  • 1 banana
  • 12 cocoa beans
  • lots of white grapes
  • a hint of coconut

Plus...

  • 30 g of protein-soy, whey
  • 171 mg vitamin C
  • 1410 mg of potassium
  • 7.5 mg of iron

It's high in calories and carbs, but this chocolate banana smoothie is a rich source of protein, vitamin C, potassium, and iron.


Bottom Line

Enjoy banana and chocolate together? Then you'll probably love this protein smoothie.

But if you're like me, a chocoholic, the strong banana flavor spoils it. Sadly, your buds are bombarded by banana overwhelming the delicious cocoa.

Banish the banana! Naked® juice people, p-l-e-a-s-e make a version without it. Chocoholics would rejoice.
