Chocolate Smoothies

Without a doubt this is my favorite category of smoothie recipes. I must confess I have a weakness for chocolate. Thankfully, cacao (raw chocolate) is one of the healthiest superfoods you can add to your smoothie. I hope you enjoy these chocolate smoothie recipes as much as I do.

Chocolate Frosty Smoothie

Chocolate Frosty Smoothie One of my favorite treats growing up was a chocolate Wendy’s frosty. I can’t remember the last time I had one (at least 5 years), but still secretly crave them :)

This smoothie is my best healthy approximation of that naughty fast-food frozen dessert. Taking unhealthy foods and making them healthy is what I’m all about.

Chocolate Strawberry Spirulina Smoothie This smoothie combines two of my favorite nutrient dense superfoods, cacao and spirulina. Add in some fresh fruit and a few other ingredients and you’ve got a delicious and highly nutritious superfood smoothie.

Greek Yogurt Smoothies There aren’t many smoothie ingredients better than thick, creamy, and healthy Greek yogurt.
