S'mores smoothie with Mama Love Chocolate Protein and marshmallows

I’m going to admit something the little Girl Scout inside has been hiding for years: I don’t like marshmallows. I know, I know, it’s hard to believe. But even as a kid, I picked out those pastel-colored bits and only ate the cereal part of the Lucky Charms. Until recently…

A package of mini marshmallows found its way into my cart on a trip to Whole Foods a couple weekends ago (my 6-year-old is staying home next time!), so… I had to create this smoothie recipe. And after one sip, no one will have to twist my arm to get me to make it again!

I also recently discovered Funky Mello vegan marshmallow creams, and I just might be a full-on marshmallow convert. No kidding—it’s that good! (And their website is totally worth a visit if you’re feeling blah—they’ve got some killer dance tunes!)

Ok, back to the recipe…

It’s delish, but not necessarily “healthy.” You’ll get a nice hit of protein from this blend—because plant-based chocolate protein powder packs in 19 grams per serving! But there’s a lot of sugar swirled in here, too, so you might want to consider splitting it into two glasses and sharing. Or not; I didn’t—you do you, Mama!

This recipe was originally created for Mama Love Chocolate Protein, which is no longer in production. Looking for a great alternative? For a similar taste and consistency, try using a high-quality, plant-based protein powder made from yellow peas, like Naked Pea Chocolate Pea Protein Powder

Ingredients 

  • 1 serving Plant-based Chocolate Protein Powder
  • 1 ½ cups Almond Milk, unsweetened
  • 1 Banana
  • 1 Tbsp. Dark Chocolate Chips (or ½ oz. Dark Chocolate shavings)
  • 2 Tbsp. Mini Marshmallows or Marshmallow Cream (Funky Mello! Woo!)
  • 2 Graham Crackers (2 full rectangles)

Instructions

Place all ingredients in a blender. Blend on high until chocolate chip pieces are small enough to fit through a straw. This smoothie will be thick, so add more almond milk or water if you prefer a thinner one. Pour into a glass and sprinkle with more marshmallows, chocolate chips, and crumbled graham cracker, if you like; serve cold. Makes 1 serving.
