(As with all smoothies, feel free to tweak the ingredients.  I add cream cheese to make it richer and fattier to keep me from being hungry.  Psyllium husk add carbs, but also are pure fiber.  The collage peptides are for my joints, but are also good lean protein.)

Dark Chocolate Fudge Protein Cake

                    Dark Chocolate Fudge Protein Cake

makes 1 serving


  2         tablespoon  collagen Peptides (Vital Proteins)
  1         tablespoon  cocoa powder
     1/4           cup  egg whites
  1         tablespoon  coconut oil -- melted
  2           teaspoon  birch-sourced xylitol
  2         tablespoon  baking chocolate -- chips

NOTE:  the original recipe calls for hemp protein powder, but I'm always looking for different way to get my collage powder in (it makes a ton of difference in my joints) and there are no carbs.  If making this for the first time, you might want to use the Hemp Protein Powder - I use this one.
