How to make chocolate smoothies

The smoothies are a perfect choice to take at any time of the day, although normally accustomed to doing during snack time or at parties. But if we add chocolate, we are adding sweetness, which can come in handy in times of stress, depression or sadness, because it helps us lift our spirits and smile. If you need a supply of energy in the form of chocolate, write down how to make chocolate smoothies with these recipes that we propose you will not regret it!

The basic chocolate smoothie

If what we want is to get to the point and make a smoothie only with chocolate, the ingredients we need are the following:

• 1 cup of ice
• 2 cups of milk (it can be whole, semi-skimmed or skimmed, whichever you like best)
• 2 tablespoons of chocolate powder
• 1 grated chocolate bar
• 1 scoop of chocolate ice cream

To make the smoothie, we only have to put the ice, the milk, the chocolate powder and the ice cream in a blender. When we have it ready, we put it in a glass and decorate it on top with the grated chocolate.

Keep in mind that in order not to damage the kitchen utensils, the ice has to be in small pieces, rather chopped, because if we put it in cubes the blender can be damaged.

White chocolate smoothie

Not everyone who is passionate about chocolate likes the variety of white chocolate. But if you do like it, make your smoothie with this ingredient a little more to your liking. We are going to need:

• 35 grams of milk chocolate
• 35 grams of white chocolate
• 150 ml milk
• Half natural yogurt
• 1 cup of ice
• 1 grated chocolate bar

First, we chop the milk chocolate and the white chocolate, put them in a blender, add the milk and mix everything. When the product is homogeneous, we add the yogurt and ice. We grind everything again until we see it to the point, to our liking.

And as in the previous recipe, we use grated chocolate as a decoration. You can use dark, milk or white chocolate.

Chocolate Banana Smoothie

For those who want to know how to make chocolate smoothies with a fruity touch, the banana is the best ally; in fact, there are many recipes that combine these two ingredients as they blend their flavors very well.

To make this smoothie we need:

• 2 ripe bananas
• 1 plain unsweetened yogurt
• 2 tablespoons white or brown sugar
• 250 ml milk
• 2 tablespoons of chocolate powder

For this recipe, the preparation is also very simple. Peel the bananas, cut them into small slices and put them in a blender or mixer. Add the yogurt, sugar, milk, and powdered chocolate, and blend until smooth.

For decoration, you can set aside a banana slice before beating it and make a small cut from the middle to the end, so that it can be placed at the top of the glass, as is normally done in many drinks with a lemon wedge.

A mysterious touch? The Mint

If you want to surprise someone with a chocolate smoothie, add a touch of mint, it is a flavor that nobody expects and that is surprising, in addition to giving our drink a fresh and exotic touch. What you need for this is:

• 2 tablespoons dark chocolate powder
• 1 cup of milk
• Half skimmed Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon peppermint extract
• One ounce of mint chocolate
• Mint leaves

To make this rich smoothie, we put the powdered chocolate, milk and yogurt in a blender, and beat them all at maximum power until a creamy texture is left. If you want you can add banana, which in this recipe is also very good and gives it that fruity touch.

And for decoration, you can grate some mint chocolate and add a final touch with a couple of mint leaves.
