Chocolate Bacon Smoothie

Oh YES I DID!!! I had an epiphany today. I was drinking a smoothie and eating a few pieces of bacon, and I was like, “WOAH,”…I need to put this sh*t together.” I don’t usually swear, but this is the first thing that came to my mind.

So, here is what I came up with. Don’t knock it till you try it. I thought chocolate-covered-bacon pieces was nasty until I tried it, and now I’m a believer. That salty, savori-ness mixed with that sweet, chocolate….mmmmmmmmmmm!

If you still are repulsed by the though, make it for your man for Valentine’s Day and steal a sip! 🙂

It’s so difficult. Throw everything in a blender and blend till smooth! Eat with bacon on the side!

Chocolate Dipped Strawberry Smoothie

by 2 Comments

Had a craving for chocolate tonight and all I could find in my pantry was cacao powder (which by the way is just frickin delicious). Accepting this challenge I began to throw things in my blender and, I have to say, I have come up with an amazing, chocolate-craving busting smoothie that is so healthy!

Ingredients:

1.5 cups of coconut milk (or almond milk).
6-7 frozen strawberries (can use fresh, just add in ice cubes)
1/2 frozen banana
1.5 TB cocoa powder

Add a couple drops of liquid stevia. I used my chocolate raspberry stevia and it enhanced the chocolatiness!!

Optional add ins: free-range egg yolks, coconut oil, and ice cubes if you use fresh strawberries

Throw everything in a blender, except ice cubes, and blend till smooth. Take a peak and add in ice cubes to get it to the thickness you desire.

Enjoy!!!

I am a pumpkin pie kind of girl! I love it! And I don’t just love it on Thanksgiving. I love it year-round! I’ve been craving it lately since, of course, I can’t have the ooey-gooey heaven on a plate, so I decided to try to make a smoothie that tastes like the real deal.

Here’s my recipe that I created that is quite amazing!
