Creating a delicious strawberry smoothie this time of year, when strawberries aren't truly in season, can be a challenge.  I find that the strawberries from Costco are usually sweeter than the ones from my local grocery store.

But if you can't find any that are sweet enough, add a touch of honey to your recipe and you will get the perfect sweetness you need for this recipe.

What blender is best for smoothies and milkshakes?

There are many blenders you can use for making smoothies, milkshakes and frozen drinks, but I personally own the Vitamix 780 and think it is simply the best.  I get smooth, consistent results every single time which is exactly what I want for all my drinks!  You can buy your own Vitamix 780 HERE.  It is my favorite and I know you will love it too!

Chocolate Covered Strawberry Smoothie Bowl

Ingredients:

• 2 cups Strawberries (without the leaves)
• 1 container Vanilla Yogurt (I used Silk Soy yogurt for a dairy-free alternative)
• 1 cup Almond Milk (you can sub regular milk or your favorite alternative)
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• ½ teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 1-2 cups Ice
• Plus more Strawberries for dipping
• Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
• Vegetable Oil
• Coconut Flakes
• Chia Seeds

Directions:

1. Prepare chocolate covered strawberries by combining chocolate chips and oil in a microwave-safe bowl.  Check out this post HERE to see how to melt chocolate for dipping. And then dip washed and dried strawberries in chocolate and place in the fridge to set.
2. In your blender combine strawberries, milk, yogurt, and ice (I start with 1 cup and then add more if needed) and blend until smooth.
3. Add Vanilla and Honey if needed for help bring out the flavor and sweetness of strawberries if needed and more ice if desired.
4. Blend until smooth.
5. Pour into a bowl.
6. Top with chia seeds, coconut flakes, and chocolate covered strawberries.

*Note that using dairy products will result in a more creamy texture where non-dairy alternatives will typically yield a less creamy texture.
