Morning Power Smoothie, Chocolate

1. 1

   Put all of the above ingredients in a Vitamix or other high speed blender.

2. 2

   I have never used anything but a Vitamix and it comes out perfectly smooth with one.

3. 3

   I can't vouch for any others.

4. 4

   Note, that the stevia is two dropperfuls -- not two drops.

5. 5

   I have tried different types of stevia and have a definite preference for Sweetleaf liquid.

6. 6

   This is also good with hazelnut stevia (instead of vanilla).

7. 7

   Variation- sometimes I add a teaspoon of coffee granules for a frozen mocha.

8. 8

   Sometimes I add a tiny bit of peppermint extract.

9. 9

   Sometimes I use carob instead of cocoa and add the peppermint (the carob mint is good, but not a fan of the plain carob).

10. 10

    For an immunity boost, I also often add water kefir grains.

11. 11

    They don't affect the taste.

12. 12

    I realize many people don't have those, but if you do -- they make a great addition -- 2 teaspoons or so.

13. 13

    Add enough ice to make it thick, about 2-3 cups.
