Chocolate Covered Strawberry Smoothie

February is the official month of L-O-V-E, so show yourself a little love with this delicious Chocolate Covered Strawberry Smoothie! It may sound indulgent, but it’s actually packed with several nutritious benefits. 

So, What’s in This Smoothie…

Strawberries: I love using frozen strawberries in this recipe because it helps to build a creamier texture, and they are a little bit more budget friendly when compared to fresh strawberries. Strawberries are rich in several nutrients, including vitamin C and antioxidants, which help to reduce the risk of chronic health conditions such as cancer, diabetes, and heart disease. 

Greek Yogurt: Greek yogurt provides a wealth of important nutrients, including probiotics and potassium. Potassium is important for maintaining your blood pressure and sodium levels. 

Cashew Milk: For this recipe, cashew milk is my preferred choice because it is creamier, sweeter, and more versatile. It’s also high in B-vitamins, vitamin D, and important minerals such as zinc, magnesium, copper, calcium, and zinc.

Chia Seeds: Chia seeds work surprisingly well in smoothie recipes, and they pack a hearty nutritional punch. They’re packed with fiber, protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and several antioxidants.

Chocolate Syrup: Because I prefer a rich, sweet chocolatey taste, I like to use chocolate syrup. You can also use a combination of cocoa powder and a zero-calorie sweetener if you are watching your carb intake.

This Chocolate Covered Strawberry Smoothie recipe only takes a few minutes to prepare and will quickly become your new favorite healthy sweet treat!  Enjoy!
