Chocolate and strawberries often go hand in hand with Valentine’s Day.

I don’t think this day of hearts and cupid is complete without them.  Today, I have a super simple recipe (which I will share as well!) to make chocolate dipped strawberries, but this week I was thinking that taking this recipe to smoothie form could be just what I need!

I love the ease of packing fruits, veggies and protein all into one sippable, creamy drink. This Chocolate Strawberry smoothie in particular makes me feel like a kid. It’s pretty much like a milkshake–but a milkshake with a little bit extra, if you know what I mean.

Valentine’s Day isn’t really a big holiday around our house, but I am all about the chocolate. And if you combine chocolate with strawberries then you are talking about a way to make your day even brighter!

What you need to make this Chocolate Strawberry Smoothie:

1. Strawberries: While I typically use a frozen banana in smoothies, I did not use one in this chocolate strawberry smoothie. Frozen strawberries take the place of the usual banana. If you like a thick and cold smoothie, you will want to make sure they are frozen. If you don’t have any frozen strawberries, you can toss in some ice cubes. I feel like ice cubes water the flavor of smoothies down, though.
2. Strawberry Yogurt: You can use regular or dairy free. Vanilla yogurt works well, too.
3. Cocoa Powder: Gimme all the chocolate!
4. Milk: Go with your favorite. Whole, almond–or for extra YUM, go with chocolate milk!
5. Chia Seeds: These are technically optional, just added these to give the smoothie a boost.
6. Maple Syrup: a touch of sweet. I sometimes don’t add it.
7. Vanilla: Just a hint of vanilla is always a great idea!
