Guilt-Free Sweet Treat: 310 Chocolate

To create the chocolaty base for this shake, I used a scoop of 310 Chocolate Shake for a luscious cocoa flavor. Sweetened only with plant-based Stevia and cocoa powder, it will surely satisfy your taste buds, while saving you from the negative health and weight loss effects of excess sugar. Not to mention, 310 Chocolate packs a punch in terms of nutritional value, containing essential micro and macronutrients that help keep your body and health in peak wellness and balance.

To help keep you full and satisfied, 310 Shakes also include a blend of plant-based proteins, (pea, brown rice, and hemp). Protein provides your body with the basic building blocks it needs to support lean muscle growth, along with healthy joints and ligaments, so it’s important to incorporate enough of this macronutrient into your diet (while making sure it's from high-quality sources).

With 310 Shakes, you can increase your protein intake with just one single scoop, containing 15g of protein and 5g of dietary fiber, while enjoying a dessert-like treat all at the same time! Choose from a variety of standard and seasonal flavors like Chocolate, Vanilla, Toasted Coconut, or Salted Caramel.

To suit a variety of unique dietary needs, 310 Shakes are also free from soy, dairy, gluten, egg, and nuts, and are also keto and paleo-friendly!

Addictive Nutty Taste: Hazelnuts

Of course the next ingredient on the list to highlight are hazelnuts! While this nut may not be as popular as peanuts or almonds, it’s a great addition to add into your shakes! Hazelnuts have a mild, buttery flavor that pairs especially well with chocolate. Not to mention, they’re a great source of healthy fats, fiber to promote satiety, and vitamin E to support immunity.

Since hazelnuts do have more of a mild flavor, I also used unsweetened hazelnut milk to help boost the delicious nuttiness in this shake recipe! Hazelnut milk is a creamy, plant-based milk that makes this smoothie extra rich. Additionally, it’s full of vitamins E, D, and A, for even more added nutrients, and antioxidants to support optimal wellness.

Extra-Chocolaty Goodness: Cacao Powder

Finally, if you want even more chocolaty flavor, I hear you! I'm a huge fan of adding cacao powder to my shake recipes. It not only enhances the flavor of 310 Chocolate, but also just gives a punch of chocolate that's so irresistible.

Full of antioxidants and flavanols, cacao powder may also help support immunity and support optimal wellness and vitality – so it's a great option for indulging in the taste of rich chocolate without all the unnecessary additives and sugar!
