Dark Chocolate Strawberry Smoothie
Dark Chocolate Strawberry Smoothie: This fruity smoothie tastes like a chocolate dipped strawberry!
Last summer, when my sister and I visited NYC for an impromptu girls trip, one morning, we were both craving smoothies. Straight c-r-a-v-i-n-g.
We stopped at this hip hole-in-the-wall smoothie place that Google Maps directed us to (umm, such a lifesaver. During my first NYC trip, back when flip phones were all the rage, we used a physical map to get us around the Big Apple, which didn’t make us look conspicuous at all).
Hip was a good description for it. Trendy, even. Because they wanted to charge $11 for a baby smoothie. Think Starbucks mini frap size–aka, miniscule. When there are things like Magnolia’s, Joe Coffee, and the Last Bookstore, $11 for a smoothie doesn’t fly.
Jamba was way more our style. And apparently also half of Manhattan’s.
The nearest Jamba was filled to the brim with corporate people, and I kid you not, 96.4% of them all ordered a carrot orange smoothie.
Considering ours were bright pink (the classic Strawberries Wild) in a sea of orange, they stood out priiitty easily, just like I did in my California flip flops and shorts next to the suit-and-tie/loafer people.
Eh, whatcha you gonna do?
I like strawberry things. I like chocolate strawberry things even better.
This smoothie? It tastes like chocolate dipped strawberries. Could it be any better?
Yes, yes it can. It’s made with almond milk and Greek yogurt, aka good-for-the-body-and-soul ingredients.

Welcome! I’m glad you’re here!
This smoothie sounds so good, Michelle! Way better than Jamba’s for sure. I love the chocolate in here! I would totally be craving this every day!
Thanks, Gayle!
So delicious and refreshing. Perfect for summer!
Thank you, Julie!
Chocolate and strawberries were seriously made to be together! This looks fantastic!
Chocolate covered strawberries are the best- all those flavors in a smoothie sounds perfect to me!
When I read the title, the first thing I thought of was a chocolate covered strawberry! This looks delicious and I love how healthy it is 🙂
you had me at chocolate, this sounds soo good right now!
Chocolate and strawberries are an awesome combination! And I don’b blame you for not paying $11 for a smoothie! Crazy.
I love smoothies for breakfast this time of year. I definitely need to give this one a try! If it tastes like a chocolate covered strawberry I know I’d love it. Gorgeous pictures too!
I almost entirely forgot about flip phones until you mentioned it. How did we get anywhere without GPS?!? Thank God I wasn’t driving back then lol
Loving these chocolate strawberry smoothies…its basically a healthy milkshake for breakfast and that is just my kinda thing 😉
Pinned!
$11 for a smoothie?! That makes me cringe. I always get something chocolate from Jamba Juice. I wish they had a chocolate strawberry smoothie, but I’ll just make this one at home instead 🙂
This looks delicious!! I love chocolate and strawberries together 😀
