A Delicious Chocolate Smoothie
that You can Make in Minutes

A chocolate smoothie that tastes great and is good for you?

Who doesn't love a chocolaty treat? What we might not love is how most chocolate products are full of sugar and oils to make the product taste good. These treats become a sugary and not so healthy treat that adds to our waistlines.

When I began to experiment with different ingredients and recipes for smoothies, I found that by blending certain types of textures you can create a delicious shake with just a few healthful items. Even the most skeptical recipients will likely enjoy this wholesome drink.

Natural Health Cafe Smoothie for two:

• 2 frozen bananas
• 2 cups rice milk or almond milk or plain yogurt
• 4 dates
• 2 Tbsp. of organic cocoa powder or cocao powder
• optional: 1 tsp flax seed oil (can add for Omega 3 benefits- does not change flavor)
• optional: honey or black strap molasses to taste (just a little goes a long way to add more sweetness)
• 1 cup of ice

Blend ingredients until smooth. Makes enough for 2 large glasses or 4 smaller cups.

Enjoy the delicious chocolaty taste with this smoothie with good nutrition for your health. Your body will appreciate it.
