Notes

Tips
  • The ratios really matter here, so don’t add in more ice, and don’t add in more coconut smoothie. Doing so will result in a less chocolate flavor, one that is not as good. This smoothie relies on the ratios!
  • If you want to sub peanut butter for the almond butter, you can do that! I use both, but I prefer the almond butter as it makes it more chocolatey, otherwise, the peanut butter flavor tends to take over. You can also use cashew butter if you prefer too!
  • If you can't find the coconut smoothie, you can use full fat coconut milk from a can. This will be most similar. Or, you can also use coconut milk and few tablespoons of yogurt. Because the coconut smoothie is so creamy, it’s like a combination of using milk and yogurt, which really makes a difference in this smoothie because it has so few ingredients. While almond milk, oat milk, or regular coconut milk will work, the result won't be as creamy.
  • When starting the blender, turn it on low first, and allow it to crush up all the ice until you don’t hear anymore big chunks of ice. Then turn it up to high to incorporate everything, blend up the pumpkin seeds, and blend in your powders or supplements if you’re adding. This way it will make a really smooth smoothie!
  • If you want to use cow’s milk, you can do that instead. I would use a mix of whole milk and yogurt to make sure you get the creamy texture!
