Mint Chocolate Berry Shake
Healthy Mint Berry Chocolate Shake is thick, creamy, delicious and full of good for you ingredients. It tastes indulgent but is healthy!
Servings: 1 large shake
Ingredients
- 1 heaping cup frozen strawberries 5.5 oz
- 1 cup lowfat unsweetened coconut milk I'm sure almond milk would work too, if you don't mind a slightly nutty taste
- 2 tablespoons organic raw chocolate powder cocoa powder would work too
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup You could also use agave, stevia, truvia...whatever you prefer, adjust to your desired sweetness
- 2 sprigs fresh mint using just the leaves after rinsing them
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Note: This smoothie is not overly sweet, so feel free to add more maple syrup or your preferred sweetener to your liking.
Instructions
- The key here is to use frozen strawberries. If you use fresh, then it will be too liquidy and adding ice will dilute the flavors, which you don't want. If your blender is a little weak, just let the frozen strawberries thaw for a few minutes first. That's what I do, because mine isn't all that powerful. Blend all the ingredients together and garnish with fresh mint and strawberries. Enjoy!
