This delicious chocolate kefir smoothie is an easy refined sugar-free drink. Give it a try if you’re looking for nutritious drinkable breakfast or snack ideas, like this creamy pea protein smoothie, which is another yummy option.
Key Ingredients
Kefir is the star of this recipe and it’s what gives this smoothie its tangy flavor and creamy texture. I used a plant-based coconut kefir, but you can use any type you like.
This smoothie is sweetened with Medjool dates. I love them because they’re particularly sweet and moist, but any type of date works. Or you can substitute a very ripe banana.
This smoothie gets its chocolate flavor from cocoa powder. Raw cacao powder works too.
How to Make a Chocolate Kefir Smoothie
Add the pitted dates, kefir, cold water, and cocoa powder to a blender. Blend until smooth.
Enjoy right away or store in the fridge for up to three days. Stir before serving.
