I am completely in love with the idea of starting my day with a chocolate smoothie. Okay, so there is just a hint of chocolate in this, but that’s enough to make my chocoholic soul happy. In reality, this Strawberry Oatmeal Chocolate Smoothie is a rich and fiber filled treat that can also double as a meal.
Can a chocolate smoothie be healthy? Yes, it can! This Strawberry Oatmeal Chocolate Smoothie is the ideal breakfast, snack, or drink that is full of amazing flavor but still manages to be healthy. The combination of strawberries and dragon fruit add antioxidants, along with fiber from oats and delicious bits of dark chocolate. You have a meal in a glass that everyone will love!
Strawberry Oatmeal Chocolate Smoothie Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup sliced strawberries

- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 1/2 tablespoon dark chocolate shavings

I recommend using a high-powered blender to get this strawberry oatmeal chocolate smoothie truly smooth. Oatmeal can end up being a bit grainy, so using something like a Ninja Blender is a great idea. Another tip is to keep your chocolate in the freezer so it shaves easily using a cheese grater or zesting tool.
Make this delicious Strawberry Oatmeal Chocolate Smoothie as a perfect breakfast drink everyone will love. You can easily top it with more or less chocolate depending on what you prefer. Serve this up as a special treat that kids won’t realize is healthy, or make as a delectable breakfast for yourself.
