Chocolate Covered Strawberry Shake

Chocolate Covered Strawberry Protein Shake

1 serving

Strawberry layer:

3/4 c unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice (used Silk Unsweetened Almond Milk)

1 scoop vanilla, or berry, protein powder (used Vega One French Vanilla)

1/2-3/4 c frozen organic strawberries (Frozen will make it thick. May have to add more, or a little ice, if using fresh berries.)*

Chocolate layer:

1/2 c unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice (used Silk Unsweetened Almond Milk)

1/2 scoop chocolate protein (used Vega One Chocolate)

1/2 c ice cubes (about 4 cubes)

In a Magic Bullet, VitaMix, or blender blend the ingredients for the strawberry layer, if not thick enough add a little ice or place in freezer for a couple of minutes. If it is too thin the two layers will swirl and mix instead of layer. Pour into glass. Blend ingredients for the chocolate layer. Carefully pour on top of the strawberry layer. Enjoy!

For an extra treat dip a fresh strawberry in melted dark chocolate or melted carob and use for garnish.

Of course the girls saw this and wanted one too! So here is a kids version.
