Hot Chocolate Smoothie Recipe

Hot Chocolate Smoothie

We always look for an excuse to have dessert for breakfast & this is the perfect excuse. Truth be told, it really isn’t an excuse at all since this hot chocolate smoothie recipe is actually much better for you than a typical hot cocoa. We swapped out the typical ingredients such as cow’s milk for almond milk & cocoa powder for unsweetened cocoa powder while adding in a splash of pure vanilla extract, honey, & oats to create a thicker, tastier smoothie texture. As a mixture of your favorite hot cocoa & chocolate smoothie, this is one chocolatey recipe you feel guilty about.

We topped our hot chocolate smoothie with chocolate syrup made from just a tiny bit of unsweetened cocoa powder & coconut oil. Simply mix together 2 tbsp melted coconut oil with 3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder & voila you’ve got yourself a healthy alternative to typical chocolate sauce. Carob chips or cocoa nibs are another great topping alternative to keep this recipe tasty & healthy.
