Starbucks Chocolate Smoothie Recipe is simple to make at home and every bit as good as the original! Remember when these old school Starbucks Smoothies were around? They were simple with just right amount of ingredients. . . banana, mocha flavor, protein, your choice of milk, and ice. It’s been awhile since you’ve seen them on the menu and if you’re like me you’re missing them! We’re happy to share our copycat Starbucks chocolate smoothie along with Starbucks Orange Mango Smoothie Recipe and Starbucks Strawberry Smoothie Recipe!

Starbucks Chocolate Smoothie Recipe is just the beginning of our smoothie love! We hope you’ll enjoy these too:

Smoothie 101

Invest in a heavy duty blender; I’ve used a Blend Tec for well over a century now and I love it! It’s powerful enough to blend frozen fruit and vegetables smooth, smooth, smooth!
I prefer using frozen fruits and vegetables in my smoothies so they have a thicker consistency.
Freeze extra fruits and vegetables as they are just beginning to turn over-ripe; I use gallon plastic zip top freezer bags to toss them in.
Freeze fresh produce to use later- I find they last just fine for up to 4 weeks. ie: spinach or mixed salad greens, baby carrots, cucumbers, banana’s broken into four pieces, sliced/cored apples and pears, extra berries, peeled/segmented oranges and clementines, grapes, and the list goes on!
Extra nutrient add in’s are always good try adding: vanilla and chocolate protein powders, dry oats, a small handful of nuts, peanut butter, flavored yogurt or kefir, and more.

• Super food add in’s: gogi berries, coconut oil, avocado, acai or cacoa powder, chia or hemp or flax seeds, etc!

Fit Friday!

Fit Friday here with a fun workout for you to add some excitement into your weekend. I don’t do a whole lot of body part break downs in my workouts, I like to do more full body functional workouts, but every once in a while I feel the need to focus my gym time a little more. Today we are doing a core and plyo workout.

Why? Well, straights plyos is a crazy hard so I like to break it up. Today we are breaking it up with some solid core, when I do focus it is often core because your core is your power house.

Starbucks Chocolate Smoothie Recipe is filled with all the good ole’ flavors of the classic variety!
