Chocolate? Check. Mixed berries? Check. Coconut milk? Check. Heaven in a glass? Hells yeah, check!!! This chocolate berry smoothie will make you tingle with happiness. You can have it for a quick breakfast on the go, as pre-workout fuel or an easy snack or treat on those high-energy days. Made with gut-beneficial collagen protein, this smoothie is dairy-free, gluten-free and paleo-friendly.
Berries and chocolate is a timeless combination used in many treats and desserts. It works just as well in a smoothie.
How To Make Chocolate Berry Smoothie
I used collage protein powder to make this smoothie more satiating. You can choose a protein powder that suits your dietary intake. For those following a paleo diet, I have a guide to suitable protein powders here.
For chocolate flavor, I used 1 tablespoon of cacao powder (you can use cocoa powder). Or, perhaps your protein powder is chocolate-flavored, which can be used for both protein and choc flavor.
You will need frozen mixed berries, which are also used as ice in this recipe. There is no specific berry mix, just whatever is in the bag or on hand. If you’re lucky enough to have some fresh berries, by all means, use those and add a cube of ice or two to the blender.
For liquid, I used regular coconut milk from a can and water. Make sure to shake it well. If it’s really thick, you can add a little more water to dilute the smoothie. You can also use coconut milk drink, almond milk or any other dairy-free option. I like thick, canned coconut milk as it’s rich and gives a lot of creaminess to the smoothie.
Everything is processed in a blender until smooth. Add a little water for a thinner consistency, use less coconut milk for a thick smoothie bowl version.
