Chocolate Strawberry Smoothies

Stephanie Gallagher

This chocolate strawberry smoothie recipe is refreshing and healthy. If you have a blender with an ice-crusher feature, you can make these smoothies in there. Otherwise, you may want to use a food processor, since the frozen strawberries can be tough to crush. Serve these smoothies for breakfast, a snack or dessert. Starbucks watch out: these smoothies taste just like a Frappuccino!
