Chocolate Covered Strawberry Smoothie
Health chocolate, strawberry, banana smoothie
Servings: 2 Smoothies
Equipment
- 1 Blender
Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen strawberries add flavor, sweetness, and antioxidants.
- 1 medium banana makes the smoothie creamy and naturally sweet.
- 2 cups milk of choice almond, oat, dairy, or coconut milk all work well
- 1 serving organic chocolate protein adds protein for a more filling smoothie
- 1 –2 tbsp cocoa powder or raw cacao
- 1 tbsp sweetener of your choice I recommend honey or maple syrup
- 1 tbsp chocolate syrup or melted dark chocolate optional, for that “chocolate-covered” feel
- 1/2 tsp of organic vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt enhances the chocolatey flavor
Instructions
- Prepare ingredients: Add all ingredients to a blender, leaving out the strawberries if you don’t intend to blend the smoothie right away. Cover the blender jar and store it in the refrigerator until you’re ready to blend.
- Blend: Use the smoothie setting on your blender to blend the smoothie. If your blender does not have one, blend on high in 30-second intervals until all ingredients are well blended.
- Check Consistency: Check the smoothie’s texture. If it’s too thick, add more milk and blend for an additional 30 seconds. I recommend adding milk in ¼-cup increments to avoid watering it down. Repeat as needed.
- Serve: Pour the smoothie into glasses, this recipe yields about 24 ounces, making it great to share.
- Garnish (optional): For a finishing touch, garnish with a organic chocolate syrup or melted chocolate.
