Instructions

1. Prepare the Ingredients

   • Wash and hull the strawberries. If using frozen strawberries, no need to thaw.

2. Blend

   • In a blender, combine the strawberries, banana, milk, cocoa powder, sweetener, yogurt (if using), and vanilla extract.
   • Blend on high until smooth and creamy.

3. Adjust Consistency

   • If the smoothie is too thick, add more milk a little at a time until you reach your desired consistency.

4. Serve

   • Pour into a glass and serve immediately.

5. Optional Toppings

   • Add whipped cream, sprinkle chocolate shavings, or garnish with a fresh strawberry on the rim for an extra touch.

Tips:

• For a richer flavor, add 1 tbsp of peanut butter or almond butter.
• For added nutrition, toss in a handful of spinach (the chocolate flavor will mask the greens).
• Make it a dessert smoothie by adding a scoop of chocolate ice cream!

Enjoy your delicious strawberry & chocolate smoothie! 🍓🍫
