Coconut Choco Chai Smoothie
Serving up easy and healthy breakfast smoothies that taste like a dream! Today’s Chocolate Smoothie Recipe with Coconut and Chai is satisfying and sweet. Just what I need to start my day off on the right track.
Now that school is back in session, our morning time is rush, rush, rushed!
We get the kids up at 6:30am whizz through primping, then head downstairs to pack lunches and prepare breakfast before we head out the door at 7:20. That’s a lot to pack into 50 minutes, but none of us can stomach getting up any earlier than 6:30 in the morning.
It can be tricky to prepare a healthy and filling breakfast in the 10-15 minutes we allow for breakfast each day. And honestly, most of the things I can think to feed the kids in a short timeframe are loaded with junk.
So most days we rely on a good smoothie recipe to keep the kids happy, fill our tummies, and pump us full of vitamins and minerals.
One of our favorites is a chocolate smoothie recipe with coconut and chai… and Yes, it’s full of vitamins and minerals. I promise.
I accomplish this by adding a scoop of Greens+ Advanced Multi Superfood to each smoothie.
Greens+ is a powerful powdered greens blend packed with raw green foods, superfruits, sea vegetables, herbs, probiotics, and vitamins. It is soy free, dairy free, gluten free and non-gmo.
You can mix it with water and take a shot of greens for a healthy morning boost, or you can mix it into your favorite chocolate smoothie recipe, like we do.
We love adding Greens+ Vanilla Chai Superfood to our chocolate smoothie recipe with coconut milk, for a rich blend of complex flavors. The touch of chai spices and creamy coconut milk, make this a healthy smoothie the kids beg for!
Another Greens+ product we discovered this year are the +PlusBars. Greens+ makes a variety of Energy, Protein, and Superfood bars that pair well with smoothies in the morning, and make great healthy snacks on the go.
The kids have been taking +PlusBars in their lunch boxes. It’s a treat that I feel good about giving them.
We especially love the Chocolate Peanut Butter Chia Crisp +PlusBars made with crispy brown rice, dark chocolate, and chia seeds.
And guess what… They happen to pair perfectly with today’s smoothie!

I actuall had an Acai bowl today! That is a superfood. I also take regular shots of wheatgrass, which definitely don’t taste as good as Acai. haha. I know that they also sell acai powder to make bowls with, which I would love to do at home!! I really do believe that eating superfoods contributes to your overall wellness. I know the peanut m&ms at work sure don’t haha.
The only super food I’ve tried is Chia seeds. I’d be interested to try Greens+ to improve my health. I like that you can add it to water or smoothies.
I haven’t tried any of the new bars, I love the Greens plus natural energy and chocolate bars. They are tasty and I feel that they fuel my body in a heathy way. I look forward to trying the new ones.
Never tried, but am a health food nut so I would!
I have never tried a superfood or chia. I have been thinking about it because of the healthy benefits.
It would be great to add superfoods to my morning routine. I need something that will get me going.
I need to make this now!
I have tried superfood smoothies. I think these bars would be great as a post-workout snack, too.
I have been wanting to try superfoods to improve my health. This would be a wonderful time to start. This would be a game changer!
Always looking for healthy, quick options! This sounds great
Have never tried super foods, but love smoothies and have one everyday!
i work at least 12 hour shifts each day and really need to eat healthier this would be a good start
I have never tried a superfood product, but now that winter is quickly advancing I know I could use the extra nutrition. The powder would be great in a smoothie.
Not tried super foods, but would like to as we are changing our lifestyle to become healthier.
I’ve never tried a superfood product. It would make breakfasts. healthier.
We have not tried a commercial superfood – just what grows in our gardens. The bars would be a great snack to use while out in the fields working.
This smoothie is callin’ my name! Love all of those ingredients!
delicious!! I am a smoothie a-holic and this is awesome!
