Spicy Passion Protein Smoothie Recipe

Chef Meredith Baird Figone has done it again with another over-the-top creation using some of our favorite Kroma products. This antioxidant-rich, cacao-infused Spicy Passion Protein Smoothie is loaded with plant protein and avocado, so it works as a satisfying, nourishing post-workout smoothie or meal replacement.

It’s made with Kroma Spicy Passion Latte, Kroma Vanilla Cinnamon Plant-Based Protein, and our award-winning Kroma OMG Cookie Butter, which takes the creaminess to a new level. It’s ready in 5 minutes with just one blender.

WHAT IS A SPICY PASSION SMOOTHIE?

A Spicy Passion Smoothie is a rich, chocolatey protein smoothie with a gentle warming kick. It’s built around Kroma Spicy Passion Latte, which gives the drink its signature spiced flavor, and cacao butter for deep chocolate richness. Avocado and nut milk make it thick and velvety, and plant-based protein makes it filling enough to replace a meal. It tastes like a spiced hot chocolate, blended cold.

WHY THIS SPICY PASSION PROTEIN SMOOTHIE?

Chef Meredith’s recipe balances indulgence and nutrition. Kroma Vanilla Cinnamon Plant-Based Protein adds plant protein for muscle recovery and lasting fullness. Kroma Spicy Passion Latte brings bold, warming flavor, and Kroma OMG Cookie Butter adds a nutty, dessert-like depth. Avocado and cacao butter provide healthy fats that keep you satisfied for hours.

It’s dairy-free, naturally sweetened with monk fruit or dates, and good after a workout or any time you need a nourishing meal on the go.

TIPS FOR THE BEST SPICY PASSION PROTEIN SMOOTHIE

• Melt the Cacao Butter First: Cacao butter is solid at room temperature. Melt it gently before blending so it mixes in smoothly instead of forming flecks.
• Use a High-Speed Blender: It gives the silkiest texture with avocado and dates.
• Soak Your Dates: If you’re using dates, soak them in warm water for 5–10 minutes so they blend completely.
• Adjust the Spice: Start with ¾ tbsp of Spicy Passion Latte, then add more if you want extra kick.
• Make It Thicker: Use less nut milk or add more ice for a frosty, milkshake-like texture.
  
  
  
  

SERVING SUGGESTIONS

• Post-Workout Refuel: Drink within an hour of exercise to support recovery.
• Make It a Bowl: Reduce the nut milk and top with cacao nibs, hemp seeds, and a drizzle of Kroma OMG Cookie Butter.
• Dessert in a Glass: Rim the glass with cacao powder and a pinch of cinnamon.
• Add Greens: Blend in a handful of spinach for extra nutrients without changing the chocolate flavor.
