Chocolate Smoothies Frequently Asked Questions From The Community
When I shared these indulgent chocolate smoothie recipes with my audience on YouTube, everybody was delighted.
Who doesn’t like chocolate? The best thing about these chocolate smoothies is the fact that they are mostly healthy too. You can sip guilt-free!
Some members of my smoothie community had questions regarding making chocolate smoothies.
Some of the questions included:
Can You Blend Chocolate In a Blender?
It depends. Blending a bar of chocolate may not work, but you can blend cocoa powder, melted chocolate, etc. If your blender is powerful, you will also be able to blend chocolate chips. It’s always best to use cocoa/cacao powder, though. It incorporates easily and gives you the chocolate taste you need with a single tablespoon!
What Happens If You Blend Chocolate?
If you do end up blending chocolate, this may harm your blender, not to mention leave your smoothie with unblended bits of chocolate. Avoid blending chocolate bars, unless the chocolate is softened and you are using a high-quality blender such as a Vitamix.
How Do You Thicken Chocolate Smoothies?
There are a couple of things you can do to thicken chocolate smoothies. Use bananas, frozen fruit, ice, yogurt and chia seeds. Also ensure you add the liquid gradually, until you reach the consistency you like.
What Are The Best Types Of Chocolate To Use In Smoothies?
Some of the best types of chocolate you can use to make delicious chocolate smoothies include: cocoa powder, Nutella, melted chocolate, cacao powder, chocolate spreads, and chocolate protein powders. In no particular order.
Can I Use White Chocolate To Make a Smoothie?
You can definitely use white chocolate in smoothies. Use either melted white chocolate, or white chocolate spread.
