- 1 ½ cups frozen strawberries
- 1 frozen banana
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- ¾ cup almond milk
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 tablespoon Dutch processed cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon almond butter
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Gather fresh, ripe strawberries and high-quality chocolate, ensuring they are at optimal temperature for blending.
- Precisely measure chocolate, strawberries, yogurt, almond milk, ice cubes, and honey into a high-performance blender container.
- Secure the blender lid tightly, positioning the container on the base with stability.
- Activate the blender at medium-high speed, gradually increasing to maximum power to create a uniform, silky texture.
- Monitor the mixture’s consistency, cautiously adding additional 2-of almond milk if the smoothie appears too thick.
- Continue blending for 45-60 seconds until the ingredients transform into a luxuriously smooth, creamy concoction with no visible chunks.
- Pause the blender and assess the smoothie’s visual appearance and texture, ensuring a harmonious blend of chocolate and strawberry flavors.
- Pour the freshly prepared smoothie into chilled glasses, allowing the vibrant colors and rich aroma to entice the senses.
- Optional: Garnish with a few chocolate shavings or a whole strawberry to enhance the presentation and add a gourmet touch.
Notes
- Prep your blender the night before by chilling the container in the freezer for extra frosty results.
- Fresh strawberries work best, but frozen can create an incredibly thick, milkshake-like texture.
- Dark chocolate with 70% cocoa content adds rich depth and antioxidant benefits to this smoothie.
- Swap almond milk with Greek yogurt for a protein-packed, creamier version that feels more indulgent.
- Store leftover smoothie in an airtight container for up to 24 hours, giving it a quick stir before enjoying.
