A Few Notes on this Smoothie
The links are to our affiliate programs, which many of you know we ourselves use. In fact, in front of me is the first smoothie made from this recipe using everything we’ve linked to above. Just click the link above or here: Dark Chocolate & Coconut Water Collagen Whey Protein for Vital Proteins’ product. They really have the best stuff. And when you go to Swanson, you’ll have to search for the Better Stevia (Simply the Best has this stevia, but they bundle it with their complete chocolate packs).
The amount of erythritol and stevia can be modified, less if you want it less sweet and more if you want it more sweet, but remember, erythritol and stevia together counter each other’s aftertaste.
