There are few more delicious, rich and satisfying flavour combos than good quality chocolate with creamy nut butter – in this case smooth, drippy almond butter šŸ™‚

And if it’s actually good for you too? Then I think we’re onto a winner!

With these dark, grey and often stormy winter days, I definitely find that I’m craving more sweet treats and comfort foods. But the trick with avoiding putting on that dreaded layer of winter ‘hibernation weight’, is to choose your sweet fixes wisely and really enjoy them.

As I’m trying to be good after plenty of buffet indulgence on holiday during the first half of January, I’m focusing on tasty meals and smoothies that will help to stabilise my blood sugar levels and not load my body with extra calories. 

That’s why I love this Chocolate Truffle Protein Shake so much. It tastes really indulgent and creamy, yet it’s totally free from refined sugar, simple carbs and excess calories. It’s also packed with protein, fibre and heart-healthy fat to keep you feeling full for longer and antioxidant-rich raw cacao powder to aid in healing your cells from everyday wear and tear. A smoothie that helps to give you fresher, younger-looking skin? Yes please!

I really enjoyed this smoothie after a tough resistance workout this week, when I really needed the scoop of Sunwarrior Chocolate protein powder to boost my muscle recovery.

You could also throw in a handful of baby spinach leaves for an extra greens boost, or swap the almond butter for another type of nut or seed butter, or even 1/4 of a ripe avocado for a deliciously creamy drink šŸ™‚
