Ingredients
Scale
For the Smoothie Base:
- 2 cups frozen fruit (e.g., strawberries, banana, or mixed berries)
- ½ cup almond milk (or oat milk)
For the Magic Chocolate Shell:
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons cacao powder (or cocoa powder)
- 2 teaspoons honey (or agave syrup for a vegan option)
Instructions
- Melt the Coconut Oil:
Place the coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for about 30 seconds, or until fully melted. Set it aside while preparing the smoothie. - Make the Smoothie Base:
In a high-speed blender, combine the frozen fruit and almond (or oat) milk. Blend for about 2 minutes, or until smooth and creamy. Add more milk if the mixture is too thick. - Spread the Smoothie:
Pour the smoothie mixture into a bowl and spread it evenly using a spoon. - Prepare the Chocolate Shell:
In a small bowl, combine the melted coconut oil, cacao powder, and honey (or agave). Mix until fully combined. - Pour the Magic Shell:
Drizzle the chocolate mixture over the smoothie, using a spoon to spread it evenly. - Allow the Chocolate to Harden:
Let the chocolate harden for 45 seconds to 1 minute. The cold smoothie base will make the chocolate set quickly, forming a crunchy shell. - Serve and Enjoy:
Break the chocolate shell with a spoon and enjoy your creamy smoothie bowl with the satisfying crunch of the magic shell.
Notes
- Make It Vegan: Use agave syrup instead of honey and ensure that your milk is plant-based (like oat or almond milk).
- Customize Your Toppings: Add extra toppings like fresh fruit, nuts, granola, chia seeds, or coconut flakes for more texture and flavor.
- Use Frozen Fruit: Frozen fruit helps create a creamy, thick smoothie base. If you only have fresh fruit, you may need to add ice cubes.
- Chocolate Variations: Feel free to adjust the sweetness of the chocolate shell by adding more or less honey/agave.
- Storage: The smoothie bowl is best enjoyed immediately while the chocolate is still crisp. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours, but the chocolate shell may soften.
