Description

Indulge in this cocoa coconut smoothie, a treat that satisfies your sweet cravings while nourishing your body. This creamy blend features the subtle taste of coconut milk, lending a luxurious texture without being overpowering. Imagine the taste of chocolate-covered strawberries – that’s the essence of this delightful drink, achieved through the combination of frozen strawberries and dark cocoa powder.

Strawberries contribute a natural sweetness, making this smoothie a guilt-free pleasure. Incorporating cocoa into your diet is a wonderful way to enjoy antioxidants, and the rich flavor of dark chocolate adds a layer of depth to this recipe. This smoothie effortlessly transitions from a nourishing meal replacement to a satisfying dessert.

Its versatility shines through simple modifications. For a lighter version, almond milk can be used in place of coconut milk. If you prefer a mixed berry profile, feel free to substitute frozen mixed berries for strawberries.

To enhance the sweetness without adding refined sugars, consider using liquid stevia drops. For a more substantial experience, transform this smoothie into a bowl. Simply add extra ice to achieve a thicker consistency that can be enjoyed with a spoon.

Alternatively, you can place the smoothie in the freezer for a short period to allow it to thicken further. Enhance your smoothie bowl with toppings like dark berries such as blueberries, blackberries, or raspberries, for an extra burst of flavor and antioxidants. Coconut flakes add a delightful texture and subtle sweetness, while chia seeds and hemp seeds contribute a boost of nutrients and a pleasant crunch.

This cocoa coconut smoothie, whether enjoyed in a glass or a bowl, offers a delicious and customizable way to treat yourself to something wholesome.

Instructions

    1.
    Ensure you're using baker's cocoa powder, which is unsweetened and 100% dark. This type of cocoa powder is typically found in the baking aisle of your grocery store, and is key to achieving the right flavor profile for the smoothie.
    2.
    Open a can of organic coconut milk without shaking. Scrape the thick cream from the top of the can into a blender until you reach the specified weight. Add the cocoa powder, almond milk, vanilla extract, and liquid stevia. Pulse until the cocoa powder breaks up, then blend at high speed to create the smoothie base.
    3.
    Add frozen strawberries to the blender and blend at high speed until they are broken up. Incorporate ice cubes until the smoothie reaches your desired consistency. This recipe yields 16 fluid ounces, perfect for a tall glass. Enjoy this Keto smoothie once a week as a pre-workout boost or a guilt-free treat.
