NOTES

1. Substitutes:

Almond milk: You can also replace this with cashew milk, hazelnut milk, or hemp milk. If you don't mind dairy, you could also use regular milk.
And are you a coconut lover? Then use coconut milk or coconut water.
You can also replace coconut yogurt with Greek yogurt or soy yogurt.
Instead of chia seeds, you can replace them with poppy seeds (which taste the same) or linseed (which adds extra fiber).

2. Variations:

Mint twist: Do you also love After Eight, those delicious chocolates? Add 5 grams of mint leaves for a fresh chocolate smoothie.
More fruit? Add banana slices to the smoothie. The smoothie becomes extra sweet and extra creamy. Tip: Use frozen bananas for a healthy chocolate milkshake.
More veggies? Add a handful of spinach to the smoothie.

3. Storage

You could keep this simple chocolate smoothie, but it's the best fresh. The creaminess decreases, and the vitamins deteriorate if you leave it longer.
If you have made too much, freeze it in an ice cube tray and store it in the freezer. You don't even have to let it thaw completely. This chocolate smoothie is delicious as a slush or ice cream.
