Mocha Cappuccino Protein Smoothie Makes a Healthy Afternoon Snack

Last Updated on December 18, 2020 by Diane Hoffmaster

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of AllWhites Egg Whites for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.

For most of the day I cruise along at full speed ahead and get stuff done quickly and efficiently.  I am a type A, high energy, slightly anal retentive type of person.  I have lists, plans, and work well with a deadline.  And then 3 PM hits and I crash hard!  Seriously, it's like if my body isn't moving in the late afternoon I feel this intense need for a nap!  I usually try to grab a cup of coffee and a healthy afternoon snack to help me refuel but I put together a healthy smoothie recipe that combines my coffee AND healthy afternoon snack all into one delicious drink!

Protein is a great energy source so this smoothie recipe includes AllWhites® 100% liquid egg whites. AllWhites Egg Whites make a great addition to your healthy smoothie recipe because they are loaded with protein, naturally fat-free, cholesterol-free, and an easy source of lean protein you can keep on hand in your refrigerator at all times. Using raw egg whites leaves you with a risk of Salmonella contamination but AllWhites® 100% liquid egg whites have been pasteurized and are totally safe to use in your smoothies. If you are looking for a healthy afternoon snack, just throw a few simple ingredients in your blender and enjoy! If you want to try this high protein snack for yourself, don’t forget to grab the $0.50 Off AllWhites Egg Whites coupon first!

NOTE:  The recipe called for chocolate syrup but since I didn't have any on hand I just used 2 tablespoon cocoa powder and it was delicious.  You could also make homemade chocolate syrup if you feel inspired!
