Ingredients


Smoothie

1 1/2 cups frozen strawberries

1 frozen banana, sliced

1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)

1/2 cup plain Greek yoghurt

2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (or cacao powder)

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, to taste)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon ground flaxseed (optional, for fiber and Omega-3s)

1/2 cup ice (only if using fresh fruit instead of frozen fruit)


Chocolate Drizzle

1/4 cup chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate

1 teaspoon coconut oil


Toppings

Fresh or chocolate-coated strawberries

A sprinkle of cocoa powder

A dollop of Greek yogurt


Chocolate Covered Strawberry Smoothie Recipe


Instructions


1. Prepare the Chocolate Drizzle

Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between each interval, until the mixture is completely smooth. Using a spoon, drizzle the melted chocolate around the inside walls of each glass. The chocolate will adhere to the cold glass and set—you can enjoy eating it with a spoon while drinking the smoothie. Set the glasses aside.

2. Blend the Smoothie

First, pour the almond milk and Greek yogurt into the blender, then add the frozen strawberries, frozen banana, cocoa powder, vanilla, and flaxseed. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.

3. Taste and Adjust as Needed

Taste the smoothie before pouring it into the glasses. If you desire extra sweetness, add honey or maple syrup; alternatively, if you prefer a richer chocolate flavor, add another tablespoon of cocoa powder. Blend again for a short while.

4. Pour into Glasses and Add Toppings

Pour the prepared smoothie into glasses. Drizzle the remaining melted chocolate over the top (as it sets, it will form small chocolate shards—which are absolutely delicious to eat). Garnish with fresh or chocolate-coated strawberries and a light dusting of cocoa powder.

5. Serve immediately.


Tips and Notes

For the best texture, use frozen fruits. Frozen strawberries and bananas make the smoothie thick and creamy without the need to add excessive ice. Fresh fruits can also be used—simply add about 1 cup of ice to compensate.

Frozen banana is essential. It adds natural sweetness and a thick, creamy consistency to the smoothie—just like a shake from a smoothie shop.

Cocoa vs. Cacao: Both can be used. Cacao powder is less processed and contains slightly higher levels of fiber, iron, and antioxidants, while also offering a milder chocolate flavor.

Greek yogurt makes the smoothie thick and creamy while also boosting its protein content. You can use any type of yogurt; or, if you wish to keep it entirely plant-based, substitute it with dairy-free vanilla yogurt.

Chocolate Drizzle Tip: After pouring the smoothie into the glass, drizzle the melted chocolate over the top—the chocolate will set instantly upon contact with the cold smoothie, allowing you to enjoy it with a spoon.


Variations


Protein Boost: Mix in one scoop of chocolate or vanilla protein powder, or one tablespoon of collagen powder. **Extra Fiber:** Add 1 tablespoon of chia seeds—they blend seamlessly into the smoothie.

Nut Butter: To make the smoothie even more delicious and filling, stir in 1 tablespoon of almond or peanut butter.

Dairy-Free: For a dairy-free version, use coconut yogurt or oat milk yogurt, along with any plant-based milk.

Banana-Free: If you prefer not to include bananas, substitute them with a few extra strawberries and a slightly larger amount of yogurt to ensure the smoothie remains creamy.

Dark Chocolate Variation: If you prefer a less sweet, more intense flavor, use dark chocolate chips (containing over 70% cocoa) as a topping, and swap the cocoa powder for cacao powder.


Here is the complete recipe! A few key tips:

You can use either fresh or frozen strawberries. If you prefer a thinner smoothie consistency, opt for fresh strawberries; if you prefer a thicker smoothie, use frozen ones.

Using frozen bananas gives the smoothie that exact creamy, thick texture you would expect from a professional smoothie shop.

Unsweetened cocoa powder imparts a delicious chocolatey flavor to the smoothie without the need for any added sugar. For an even healthier, "superfood" option, use cacao powder—it offers a milder chocolate flavor but contains higher levels of fiber, iron, protein, and antioxidants.

Once you’ve poured the smoothie into a glass, drizzle some melted chocolate over the top—the chocolate will set, allowing you to enjoy it with a spoon.

Adding a tablespoon of chia seeds provides extra fiber without altering the flavor of the smoothie.
