Best Late Night Healthy Snack Recipes
How to make a choc-o-LATE protein shake
On today’s episode of Live Lean TV, I’m sharing one of my best late night healthy snack recipes, that is so quick and easy to make.
But first, I have two questions for you.
- Do you have late night cravings?
- Do you love chocolate?
If you said yes, you are like 94.54% of other people who also have late night sugar cravings.
That means this edition of Brad’s Cookbook is for you.
One of the questions I’m always asked goes a little something like this.
“Brad, what if I get cravings at night? I love chocolate and sugar so much that it makes me raid my fridge for ice cream.”
If this sounds familiar, trust me, you’re going to love drinking this quick and simple “Choc-o-LATE” protein shake.
A protein shake recipe to end late night sugar cravings
This is one of my best late night healthy snack recipes that will fulfill your “chocolate fix”, help you repair and build muscle tissue, and create a fat burning environment in your body overnight.
One of the biggest keys to Living Lean, is keeping your appetite in check, all night long.

- In a blender, add 1 cup of water and 5 ice cubes to give the shake a thicker smoothie consistency that is cold and refreshing.

- If you want to add some extra sweetness, add 1 packet of stevia. Stevia is a natural sweetener that comes from a plant. This is different than artificial sweeteners, like Splenda, that contain chemicals.

Recipe notes:
In the YouTube cooking video, I used the chocolate gourmet flavor protein powder from Designer Whey.
Today, I prefer to use the Chocolate whey protein isolate from our friends at Earth Nutri. Use discount code: LiveLeanTV25 to save.
Damn that’s good
All that’s left is to give this bad boy a taste.
It tastes like a chocolate milkshake without all the crappy ingredients.
This was another request that you asked for, and I’m confident I delivered.
