Strawberry Fondue Smoothie

IMG_1009editedmain

I got this inspiration for this smoothie at a local coffee shop. They were advertising a strawberry fondue latte and I thought wow that would make a really tasty smoothie. So, later that day I went to work in the kitchen to create this Strawberry Fondue Smoothie!

If you love strawberry fondue then this smoothie is for you. It combines the chocolate and strawberry flavours beautifully while really letting each flavour shine on its own as well.

Not only does this smoothie taste great and feel like your are eating a treat but it's healthy! All that is in it is fruit, waters and some natural sweeteners like coconut sugar and dates, making this a great "treat" for when you are feeling like you need to stop a sweet tooth. I hope you try out this creation and let me know what you think.
