Chocolate Coconut Protein Smoothie Bowl with grass-fed, pasture-raised collagen whey for a healthy protein boost, beneficial to your skin and joint health!

This post is sponsored by my partnership with Vital Proteins. All opinions expressed, as always, are my own. Thank you for supporting the brands I trust and have the pleasure of working with, making Fit Mitten Kitchen possible!

Protein powder consumers know what a struggle it is to find a powder you love.  For me, it’s not just about the taste but what’s listed in the ingredients as well. While I don’t truly swear off any particular food groups, I do believe in food awareness. As consumers we have the power to make choices that are better not only for our own health,  but ultimately the health of the animals, plants and overall environment. I don’t talk about this subject a ton on the blog, but it is something I care about.

One of the reasons I love Vital Proteins is their transparency about their products. It’s a little unfortunate we can’t just walk into a supermarket these days and trust what we’re purchasing was developed using ethical practices. I can’t go grocery shopping without looking at labels before putting something into my cart because I like to try and understand what it is I am consuming. <- this is why I grocery shop alone because a 10 minute trip turns into a 45 minute library session. 😉  And I know some people couldn’t care less, and that’s totally fine! I’m not here to judge. What I am here for is to share with you a product I’ve come to love, one that I can feel good about adding to my diet, and maybe spark that interest in you too!

Chocolate Coconut Protein Smoothie Bowl

Last week I introduced you to some collagen Vital Proteins products, but today I’m sharing another one of their products with you…

Chocolate Coconut Collagen Protein Smoothie Bowl

Collagen Whey: Cocoa & Coconut Water

The main ingredients in this collagen whey are simple and straight-forward:

  • grass-fed pasture-raised dairy whey protein concentrate
  • grass-fed pasture-raised collagen peptides
  • high flavanol cocoa
  • organic coconut water
  • dutch cocoa
  • natural hyaluronic acid (natural joint supplement)
  • bacillus coagulens (probiotic)

So not only are you getting in a superior protein supplement for maintaining muscle mass (important for anyone, especially those strength training), your skin and gut health are also benefitting from this protein!

To showcase this amazing protein, I’ve come up with a seriously tasty Chocolate Coconut Smoothie Bowl for you all. It basically tastes like dessert.

Here’s what you’ll need:

  • frozen banana
  • your favorite yogurt
  • cacao powder (it’s super good for you!)
  • coconut water (or liquid of choice)

DESSERT + PROTEIN FTW. I had to stop myself from sampling it to take pictures. And then this bowl was gone in about .2 seconds that I devoured for lunch 😀

Chocolate Coconut Protein Smoothie Bowl

I’m curious…

  • Do you read labels at the grocery store?
  • How much do you take into consideration a brand’s ethical practices when purchasing their products? <- too deep? ? I don’t practice this ALL the time, but it’s nice when a brand makes it easy for you by being transparent!

    This bowl looks amazing. I’m the same way with new products, I probably pick them up read the entire label 3 times before finally buying them. Hence why I love blogging because you get recommendations from peeps who totally get it. Also this bowl looks BOMB.

    I really like this protein’s packaging, Ashley 🙂 The design is really cool. A smoothie bowl is not exactly what I would make for a breakfast, but I might give it a try!

    YES, supplement aisles are practically where I spend the majority of my time at Whole Foods or Sprouts, besides the produce aisle of course because I struggle to find the PERFECTLY sized sweet potato. Haha! I love that Vital Protein is very honest with its products. Definitely something I would like to check out in the near future too!
