Chocolate in smoothies, really? Yes! And these smoothies can still be considered healthy and nutritious, despite chocolate being one of the ingredients.
I don’t know about you, but I love chocolate. Dark chocolate, that is. And dark chocolate actually does have some surprising health benefits, as long as you consume it in moderation of course.
But chocolate, or cocoa powder, in smoothies is a whole different story. It would have never occurred to me to add chocolate to my smoothies, until my neighbor suggested to try it out.
Most of us rely on that much desired cup of coffee first thing in the morning to kick-start the day and to get you going. And I’ll be honest, I do too!
The problem with coffee though is that the buzz you get from it doesn’t last very long. And once it’s gone, your body and mind are desperate for another caffeine fix.
A good alternative is a breakfast smoothie that has all the right ingredients and nutrients to give you an instant, and lasting, energy boost.

The best thing about pumpkin soup is its rich, creamy texture that warms you up in no time on a cold winter’s night.
Pumpkin soup can be prepared in many different ways, but I personally love adding a bit of spiciness. I also like to make it as nutritious as possible to make the most of it, so I add in lots of different vegetables.
Whenever I prepare pumpkin soup, I use my blender in the final step of the process to create that perfect texture. Make sure you cook everything for around 20-25 minutes to make it nice and soft, and then simply blend it for a minute or so before serving.
