This is one one my go to breakfast protein smoothies and we’ve found a use for those cacao nibs hiding in your food cupboard.
Unless you have time and a stomach for eggs in the morning it can be difficult to get enough protein in. This berry, cacao and oat breakfast protein smoothie gives you just that. With enough protein at 23g and a total calorie intake of 300. There is about 30g of carbohydrates 13g of which are from sugar which is mostly from the blueberries.
You will need some sort of blender, I love my Nutribullet and its ideal for making protein shakes in as it cuts through any lumps you might get with a regular hand held shaker. and of course you need one to be able to process all the other ingredients.
If you’re on a keto diet or low carb and wanted to reduce your carbs to go carb free, you need to remove the oats completely or even go one step further and use water instead of a nut milk. I switched to coconut milk as the nutribullet froths up cow’s milk too much which makes drinking it a mission. Check the macros on the back of the milk you use to see what its sugar content is.
Here’s the recipe.

Hey there, I’m Luke, and I’ve been immersed in the fitness world since 2007. From gym floors to running my own personal training business, I’ve seen it all. My journey led me to study Sports Science at university, where I deepened my understanding of the science behind exercise.
One thing that truly lights my fire? High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT). It’s not just a workout; it’s a game-changer. I’ve used HIIT to help countless men and women shed weight and transform their lives for the better.
Through my personal training business, I’ve witnessed the incredible impact of HIIT on both physical and mental well-being. It’s not just about getting fitter; it’s about feeling stronger, more confident, and more resilient.
Join me on this journey to a healthier, happier you. Let’s crush those goals together!
