CHOCOLATE BLUEBERRY SMOOTHIE
yields 2
Before you start:
If you don’t have vanilla Greek yogurt on-hand, you could absolutely use plain Greek yogurt and just a few drops of vanilla extract.
The dash of cinnamon gives the chocolate blueberry smoothie recipe a unique depth of flavor. It is not necessary, but we recommend trying the recipe with it before you decide to omit it for the next time.
Be sure to blend long enough for the skins of the blueberries to get well chopped.

- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- dash cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup
