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’ve never tried a super food but have recently starting working out with a trainer and looking to eat healthier.
Would love to take these on my hikes.
who doesn’t need extra nutrients in their lives?
We use Chia seeds in our morning smoothies. They are nice to thicken up the smoothies, too.
yummy
Never tried a superfoods product before but since i love to try different ingredients for my everyday smoothie, i’m excited about trying this product…thanks..
My daughter got me to use a superfood product a couple of years ago and I did notice I had more energy and just felt better overall. I didn’t keep up with it, mostly due to cost. I’d love to try these products!
I always am looking for new ways to add nutrients into my diet!
I am pinning this recipe & will find the green product to try this smoothie!! sounds great and to win the products would be a bonus!! thank u

This smoothie looks amazing! Chia seeds are my go to super food :)
I have tried other green powders, but this one looks great!
I love greens plus products but.recently going on disability can not afford it and I can definitely tell the difference on how I feel. It would be an amazing blessing to win this packahe!
I’m sure they have a lot more fiber in them than what I have eaten recently!
