Chocolate Orange Whey Protein Smoothie

Ingredients
1/2 c. skim or whole milk
3/4 c. 2% Greek yogurt, plain
2 T. unsweetened cocoa powder
2 T. frozen orange juice concentrate
1 t. chia seeds
1 t. stevia powder
1 t. vanilla extract
1/4 t. instant espresso powder
1/4 t. orange extract
tiniest pinch of ground cayenne
sprinkle of ground cinnamon
1-2 scoops whey protein powder, enough to add 20g protein

Directions
Blend and enjoy!

DIY Smoothie Pack Directions
Blend everything except the milk and protein powder and freeze in silicon 1 oz. ice cube trays. 6 cubes + protein powder in a zipper bag.  Freeze.  Empty the bag into a blender.  Add 1/2 c. liquid and you have frozen yogurt / soft serve you have to eat with a spoon!  Let the smoothie pack contents thaw before blending if you have an older blender, or want a less thick smoothie.  Adding the protein powder thickens and "bulks" the smoothie and I haven't measured how it changes the volume in my DIY smoothie cubes.
