This smoothie is perfect for the end of the week when you really need a treat. Don’t do it! Don’t blow your healthy diet on a carton of frozen corn syrup sludge or non fat frozen yogurt which is not really non fat nor yogurt. Instead let’s whip up a super quick, 3 ingredient, chocolate I scream smoothie.
Ingredients
- 1.5-2 cups whipping cream, whole fat milk, coconut cream, or almond milk
- 2-3 frozen bananas broken in pieces
- 1-2 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder depending on how dark you like
- * optional add ins: 1 Tbsp maple syrup or raw honey, 1 Tbsp almond butter or peanut butter, even your probiotics or vitamins (if hiding from kids)
Instructions
- Toss everything into the blender, food processor, or use an immersion blender
- Blend away
- Serve in 4-6 ounce fancy glasses (this is a dessert remember)
I use this Blendtec Blender because I do a ton of cooking and this blender is a workhorse. I’ve made this in a food processor, and even just popped an immersion blender into a large glass.
Choose quality over quantity!
For the cream and chocolate, look for the best quality you can find; it can make or break your flavor. I used my favorite cocoa power by Rapunzel and organic cream by Clover.
We serve this in 6oz servings, it’s pure cream people, I promise it will be enough!
Super Tip: This smoothie makes a delicious “fudgesicle” when frozen. Just pop the leftover smoothie into your popsicle mold and place it in the freezer for a few hours.
All the neighborhood kids love these at our house, and I love how calm they remain afterwards. Instead of a sweet popsicle spiking their blood sugar, eating a dense, heavy, healthy fat slows down digestion and slows down the blood sugar spike. It’s a win win!
