Rich and Creamy Chocolate Peach Smoothie
By Isabel Smith, MS, RD, CDN
When you’re craving a satisfying treat, but you want to keep your health in mind, you can’t beat this cold, chocolatey but fruity smoothie. Its benefits include nutrients that support heart and brain health due to the greens and healthy fat. It can also satisfy your sweet tooth so that’s a nice bonus. If you want the consistency to be thicker you can add either 1/3 avocado or 1/2 banana and if you want the smoothie slightly sweeter you can also add one date. Enjoy this sweet treat!
