A plant-based smoothie that is rich, chocolatey, packed with fibre and protein for hormone balance, satiety, and nutrition. You would never know that chickpeas are the protein source in this smoothie!

If you recognize this recipe, you would have seen a very similar list of ingredients in my Chickpea Blondies. This smoothie tastes really similar….decadent, creamy, delicious. The only differences is that the Chickpea Blondies are baked and have a couple extra baking essentials.
