Strawberry Chocolate Frosty

Hello All. I went for a hot summer run this morning, and was craving something cold, chocolatey and creamy ! This smoothie fit the bill ! Plus it has all the goodness of plant protein by Vega as well as added heath benefits form the flaxseed and maca powder.

Strawberry Chocolate Frosty

Throw all ingredients in to the blender and whiz up and enjoy !

This smoothie strikes a nice balance between being too chocolate-y for morning drinking and just being fruity enough to pass for a breakfast. I really enjoyed it. I think it would also be very good with the addition of almond-milk in place of the coconut water.

I drank this outside in the heat, humidity and warm sun. I was not alone, Hazel enjoyed sunning herself too. Her belly is the same color as the smoothie in the right lighting.

This frosty was nice a thick, you could eat it with a spoon and avoid the brain freeze, but what fun is that?

Banana Date Smoothie

Um, is there anything better then a blast of fructose to your cells in the morning? I don’t think so!

I love bananas, and dates are natures caramel. So, this tastes amazing.
