Ingredients
- 1 cup strawberries
- 1 banana
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon chocolate syrup
Instructions
- Wash the strawberries thoroughly under cool running water and remove the green stems. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
- Peel the banana and slice it into rough chunks to make blending easier.
- Place the fresh strawberries and banana chunks into a high-powered blender.
- Add the cocoa powder directly into the blender with the fruits.
- Pour the milk into the blender, ensuring it covers the fruit slightly.
- Drizzle the chocolate syrup over the ingredients to enhance the chocolate flavor.
- Secure the blender lid tightly and blend on high speed for 45-60 seconds until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Stop the blender and check the consistency. If too thick, add a little more milk; if too thin, add ice cubes.
- Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more chocolate syrup if desired.
- Pour the smoothie into two glasses, dividing evenly.
- Optional: Garnish with a fresh strawberry or a drizzle of chocolate syrup on top before serving.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your Chocolate Covered Strawberry Smoothie chilled.
Tips
- Choose ripe, sweet strawberries for the best flavor - they should be bright red and fragrant.
- For an extra thick and frosty smoothie, freeze your strawberries and banana beforehand.
- Use high-quality cocoa powder for a rich, deep chocolate taste.
- If you want a dairy-free version, substitute milk with almond milk, coconut milk, or oat milk.
- For added protein, consider blending in a scoop of chocolate protein powder.
- Always blend on high speed to ensure a smooth, creamy texture with no fruit chunks.
- Experiment with toppings like chocolate shavings, chia seeds, or a sprinkle of cocoa powder for extra flair.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the smoothie at its freshest and most vibrant consistency.
