I have a delicious high protein, flavanol-rich smoothie for you today... with my favorite, @CocoaVia! This amazing supplement is famous for its cocoa flavanols, which support both heart and brain health. Full recipe below!! •1/2 cup of your favorite milk •1 scoop of CocoaVia Cardio Health Powder • 1 scoop of your favorite vanilla protein powder • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (or yogurt of choice) • 1/2 cup berries or your favorite fruit! ** **When choosing your fruit for this protein shake, it’s best to avoid banana if your goal is maximizing your flavanol intake. While bananas are generally a great and nutritious food, they contain an enzyme called PPO (polyphenol oxidase), found in many fruits and vegetables, that is responsible for the ‘browning’ effect that takes place in fruit such as bananas and avocados. Blending flavanol-rich fruits and vegetables with high-PPO food like bananas releases the PPO and destroys the flavanols available. So, just think twice before combining bananas...
