Almonds + Berries + Chocolate = Loads of Antioxidants! And kids just love any chocolate drink. So, motivate yourself and the kids to get moving and then come back for this delicious smoothie.

Now I do use Orgain’s protein powder. It fuels your body with clean, organic protein and other nutrients. Given that it’s all plant-based, I don’t think twice when the kids make a smoothie with it.
