Chocolate Chip, Blueberry and Banana Smoothie
Enjoy this thick and delicious smoothie for breakfast, dessert or just because.
It takes all of 5 minutes to make this colorful and delicious smoothie.
The vibrant colors of smoothies in general are so pretty.
From the name and the exterior color of a blueberry, you would think that smoothies made with them would be blue.
But instead they’re a beautiful shade of purple that varies depending on the other ingredients in the smoothie.
In this smoothie, the chocolate chips add a little bit of brown to the mix so the overall color is a more deep shade of purple.
The chocolate chips not only add flavor but also texture which is a nice surprise with every sip.
Semi-sweet chocolate chips were used in this recipe but milk chocolate or dark chocolate chips can also be used.
Although the flavor of chocolate is subtle in this smoothie, it tastes so good in combination with the blueberries and banana.
There’s also a splash of fresh lemon juice added to give the smoothie a subtle burst of flavor.
And it tastes best when served right away while it’s ice cold.
