Thirst Quencher of the Week: Chocolate Thunda Green Smoothie

Hi-Ya !

CHOCOLATE + COFFEE + GREENS = DELICIOUSNESS !!

I have concocted another green smoothie recipe from a trip to the grocery store.  My inspiration came from a stroll in the diary section.  I always add protein, greens, and super-foods to my smoothies. My protein additions are typically a plant-based protein powder, tofu or Greek yogurt.

Chobani has been creating "limited editions" of their Greek yogurt flavors.  Watermelon was my favorite until I came across....Coffee !!

There is some prep work involved in making this smoothie, but it takes a smear 2 minutes of your time, if that !  All you have to do is brew your favorite cup of coffee the night before and place in fridge.

Coffee is a Brewin' !

I prep my fruit on the weekly basis to make it easier to blend all my favorite smoothies in a flash.
Prep, what do mean ?  I buy fruit like, bananas, blueberries, strawberries, mangoes, pineapples.  I then proceed to clean em', cut em' up, bag em' and freeze em'.

Goin' Bananas !!

Chobani Coffee blended Greek yogurt and baby spinach

Ingredients
Serving Size: 1 (16 oz.)

1-2 handful of fresh organic baby spinach
1/2 cup of your favorite dark roast coffee, chilled
1/2 cup of Silk Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
1 small frozen banana, sliced
2.7oz (half of the container) Chobani Coffee blended Greek yogurt
1 tbsp of ground flaxseeds
1 tsp of Hershey's Cocoa (100% cacao) natural unsweetened
1 drop  SweetLeaf vanilla creme liquid stevia

Add all ingredients to your blender, blend and enjoy!

On another Swirl....

• You may use vanilla extract in place of the liquid stevia
• If you don't use frozen bananas you may want to drop 2-3 ice cubes in you blender to get a cold frothy smoothie, but keep in mind this may water down your java.
• I love my super-foods, but you may omit the flaxseeds if you prefer.
