If you enjoy baking made with zucchini such as moist chocolate brownies or cupcakes, you’ll love this zucchini smoothie! It’s combined with chocolate milk and almond butter for that chocolatey, baked good taste. This smoothie is simple to make and can be enjoyed for breakfast or dessert.
Not only does it taste amazing, but it’s packed with fiber and nutrients, it has a high water content and lends a creamy texture to the smoothie. If you love smoothies that taste like dessert, I also have this date smoothie recipe, chocolate banana smoothie and double chocolate smoothie that I think you’ll enjoy.
🍫Ingredients
- chocolate milk – This can be regular chocolate milk, soy or almond.
- almond butter – For more creaminess, protein and a hint of nutty flavor.
- cocoa powder – For extra chocolate flavor.
- frozen vanilla yogurt – This helps to make the texture creamy and smooth.
