Happy Valentine’s Day!

On today’s chocolate-loving holiday, we are starting things off with my favorite berry cacao smoothie!

We have already covered some of my other favorite “chocolate-centric” recipes including my mocha almond joy smoothie, chocolate raspberry avocado pudding (the perfect Valentine’s Day dessert!), and – today’s recipe’s cousin – the best chocolate strawberry smoothie. You are on the Everyday Chocolate blog after all!

I don’t praise the cocoa bean just for its amazing taste potential… although that alone is reason to rejoice. Cocoa bean “products” in their purer forms, such as organic cacao powder (featured in today’s smoothie) and high-quality dark chocolate have the potential to ALSO add a hefty nutrition punch to your daily diet. Depending on the specific brand, we are talking quite possibly an excellent source of magnesium, iron, and antioxidants.

Winning on multiple fronts!

As your trusted nutrition AND flavor connoisseur, I would not lead you astray, especially on a holiday of all days. Let’s read on for the details!

A few weeks ago when I got my wisdom teeth out I knew I needed to add some some excitement to my smoothie game in order to not bore my tastebuds to death for a few days. When I was getting tired of the same old couple of smoothies, this heavenly chocolate strawberry smoothie was born. Who knew such goodness could come out of seemingly senseless but necessary wisdom teeth removal??? Praise to the unique situation of my oral surgery and power of my Vitamix for bringing this smoothie to life.

I most prefer to enjoy this smoothie at breakfast, but anytime of day will do! Is there ever an incorrect time to enjoy the excellent combination of chocolate and strawberry?
