Chick peas and oats make a surprisingly tasty and low cost base for a smoothie or chocolate shake chock full of protein, and if you have an old Vita Mix like I do, you can pulverize the heck out of the shake so there is almost no discernible pulpy fiber taste to it. I made this smoothie to see how many ingredients I could add. I stopped at18.

You will not lose weight with this drink, but you will certainly have plenty of low cost and delicious nutrition. I highly recommend you try the chia seeds if you have a vita mix that can handle them.

 I also recommend you do not leave out the oats as that is what gives the shake its creamy taste. I add turmeric and pumpkin or sweet potato to my oats when preparing them.
