Aside from bolstering this smoothie with filling protein and fiber, quinoa also enriches the flavor. Its naturally nutty taste amplifies the deep, dark chocolate notes of the cocoa. You want to be sure to blend thoroughly to break down the grains; we give them a head start by pulverizing them first with almond milk and then again with the rest of the ingredients.
