Clean Eating: Creamy Chocolate Chili Smoothie

It’s no secret that I believe eating right can make a huge difference in your health and overall well-being. Smoothies are my go-to breakfast. I love them because you can sneak all kinds of healthy fruits, vegetables, and superfoods in them.

Variety is the spice of life!

Key Health Benefits

Chili powder is an anti-oxidant that is good for the immune system and high in vitamin C.

Cacao power is also an anti-oxidant that is high in iron, magnesium, and calcium. So it’s good for your brain, heart, and bones!

Avocado is full of the “good fats,” and is loaded with potassium and fiber.

Cinnamon is another anti-oxidant that is a great anti-inflammatory, is good for your heart, and can lower blood sugar.

Collagen powder is good for your skin, nails, hair, and joints.

Glutamine powder is an amino acid that aids in muscle recovery and helps with intestinal health.

Chia Seeds are high in fiber, protein, and Omega-3 fatty acids. They help you feel full, reduce inflammation, and are good for your ❤

Why Orgain?

I have been using Orgain protein powders for a few years now. It is a soy, dairy, and gluten free, organic, vegan powder. This brand was developed cancer-survivor turned doctor who decided to take his health into his own hands, like I have tried to do for many years. This is a brand and a philosophy I can stand behind, besides the fact that it is just plain good-tasting, good for you, and full of clean protein and fiber. Get picky with your protein.
