Ingredients

• Banana: You’ll need one peeled and frozen banana. Bananas are one of my favorite fruits to put in smoothies. They’re a great source of potassium and give this Chocolate Strawberry smoothie its perfectly creamy texture.
• Strawberries: Add 1 cup of frozen strawberries. Frozen fruits make your smoothie creamier than fresh fruits. But fresh fruit also works, use what you have!
• Milk: You’ll need 1 ½ cups of almond milk. (You can use any milk of your choice.)
• Honey: I like to add 1 tablespoon of raw honey to sweeten the smoothie but you can always omit that or add your preferred type of vegan sweetener.
• Cocoa Powder: Now for that decadent chocolatey taste, you’ll need 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder. If you want your Chocolate Strawberry smoothie to have a really deep chocolate flavor, I recommend using organic cocoa powder (or cacao powder, which is raw chocolate powder)
• Protein Powder: I like to keep my smoothies healthy and nutritious, so I usually add 1 serving of protein powder. You can use any protein powder of your choice.
• Toppings: Chocolate-dipped strawberries and chocolate shavings are a great option for serving if you want to make this a pretty Valentine's Day treat.
