Cocoa Berry Smoothie


I love smoothies!  I love how many national food chains such as Panera and Starbucks are now serving smoothies!  I do NOT love how they tend to cost almost $4.00!  In an effort to not go broke by feeding my smoothie addiction, I have started making my own at home.  Here's one of my recent concoctions.  Enjoy!


Cocoa-Berry Smoothie
Serves: 1

3/4 cup Milk (I used 1%)
1 cup Frozen Strawberries
1 1/2 Tbs Fat Free Whipped Topping
3 tsp Chocolate Pudding Mix, dry




Add all ingredients to the blender:




Blend until smooth. If you find the smoothie too thick, add additional milk as needed. Depending on how thick you want it, you may have to stop and stir a few times.

 
Once smoothie has reached your desired consistency, poor into a cup and enjoy!  At first sip it tastes mainly like strawberries, but has a subtle chocolate flavor from the pudding.  If you want it more chocolate-y, you can always add more pudding mix to it. This makes about 2 cups, which I consider a good 1-serving. Enjoy!
