The 'delicious' smoothie that's packed with protein: 'Such a great way to get added goodness'

It can be hard to pack enough protein into our diets, especially when we're leading busy lives.

Although protein powders are a quick and easy way to bump up our intake, many can be gritty or leave a bitter aftertaste, making them difficult to drink regularly.

Now, customers have discovered a powder that tastes amazing on its own but also makes an excellent base for smoothies and puddings.

"This protein powder is so delicious and tasty. It doesn’t leave a gritty aftertaste and blends so well into smoothies," says one happy customer. "I love baking with it and adding it into my smoothies," agrees another. "Such a great way to get all that added goodness. It's delicious."

JSHealth's "Notella" Protein Smoothie uses their Chocolate Brownie protein powder, $49.99, as a base.

Inspired by chocolate hazelnut spread but without the sugar, this smoothie keeps you full for hours and tastes delicious. Medjool dates and avocado keep you feeling satisfied and full of energy, and the crunch of hazelnuts adds a decadent feeling to the smoothie.

To make it, you'll need:

• 1 cup ice cubes

• 1 banana, fresh or frozen

• 2 Medjool dates, pitted

• ¼ avocado

• 1 tbsp cacao powder

• 1/3 cup hazelnuts, we used blanched hazelnuts

• ½ serve JSHealth Choc Brownie Protein + Probiotics

• 1 tsp cinnamon

• Pinch sea salt

• 1 cup almond milk or milk of choice

Combine all of the ingredients in a high-powdered blender and blend until smooth. Pour into a glass and serve immediately.
