Chocolate Nutella Smoothie

Chocolate works miracles. That’s a fact. It’s comforting. It’s tasty. It puts me in a good mood. It makes friends. Nutella is the goddess of chocolate–it’s the hazelnut that does the trick. Oh, and the sugar. And cocoa. And soy. Mix it all together and it’s bliss. I spread it on toast, in hot chocolate (remember my Deluxe Nutella Hot Chocolate?), and now in a smoothie!

I was having this chocolate craving this morning. Every morning I make a smoothie for breakfast–it’s just a thing I do. I’m a creature of habit. Once I find something that’s good, it’s hard to change. But alas, I actually diverted from my Protein Berry Smoothie to make this one.

I will admit that as I was putting all the ingredients in the blender, I was dipping my finger in the Nutella jar for a taste. Okay, I will fess up that I dipped my finger several times. You can’t just stop with one lick!

If you want to make your smoothie more heavenly, top it with shaved chocolate or whipped cream–or both! I’m a both kind of gal. (It’s good with coconut whipping cream, too!)

Notes

**Note: For a dairy-free or Vegan version, I love Justin’s Chocolate Hazelnut Butter! It’s also lower in sugar and has more of a hazelnut flavor. **If you use a Blendtec, add ingredients in order listed and use the “ice crush” setting. For an even smoother version, after the ice crush setting, hit the Smoothie setting.
