Chocolate Protein Green Smoothie

The perfect everyday smoothie recipe made with vanilla protein powder. Some people use protein powder almost every day, however, if you do not have protein powder, simply omit it in the recipe and it should still taste great. The addition of the protein powder just makes it more filling and a great post-workout snack to help recover your muscles.
