Mocha Chocolate Smoothie

This Mocha Chocolate Smoothie is loaded with everything you need for breakfast to keep you full until lunch.  AND it tastes like chocolate ice cream. Thick and creamy goodness!  {gluten free}

Breakfast doesn't have to be boring.  Smoothies are a great way to add some fun into your morning and fill you all up with so much goodness.  This Mocha Chocolate Smoothie is like breakfast in a glass.  

This smoothie is so thick it's more like chocolate nice cream.  It's made with frozen bananas and it creates a super thick smoothie or smoothie bowl.  Smoothie bowls are great when you want to add a bunch of toppings and eat your smoothie with a spoon. They need to be thick to suspend the toppings like this one is.  

If you prefer you can eat this Mocha Chocolate Smoothie as a bowl and add all the toppings like chocolate chips, banana slices, berries, sliced almonds, granola, and cocoa nibs.

To get those swirly chocolate streaks I melted chocolate chips in the microwave then I swirled them on the side of the glass before I added the smoothie.  So pretty!
