Ice Chocolate smoothies are a delicious treat for all ages! You can use them to get in lots of protein by making them with bananas, peanut butter, and protein powder.

 

However you decide to enjoy your chocolate smoothie, the process is pretty basic. Measure out your ingredients, blend everything together, pour, and enjoy.

Below are the ingredients and the process to guide you in making your Ice Cream Chocolate Smoothie

— 3⁄4 cup (180 mL) of milk.

 

— 1⁄4 cup (59 mL) of chocolate syrup.

 

— 3 cups (430 grams) of vanilla ice cream.

 

— Whipped cream to taste.

To make Ice Cream Chocolate Smoothie, follow these five easy steps.

Step 1

— Add 3 cups (430 grams) of ice cream to the blender. For a classic chocolate smoothie, use vanilla ice cream. If you want an even stronger chocolate flavor, opt for chocolate ice cream.

 

— Add your scoops to the blender first to prevent unwanted splashing.

 

— If your ice cream is really hard, try running the ice cream scoop under hot water for a few seconds.

 

— You could really use any kind of ice cream you like. Coffee or peanut butter ice cream would pair really well with chocolate.

Step 2

— Pour in 3⁄4 cup (180 mL) of milk and 1⁄4 cup (59 mL) of chocolate syrup into the blender.

 

— Pour the milk slowly so it doesn’t splash too much, and use a spatula if you have trouble getting all of the syrup out of the measuring cup.

 

— If you don’t want the additional sweetness from the chocolate syrup, substitute it for 2 tablespoons (28 grams) of unsweetened cocoa powder.

Step 3

— Blend the ingredients until the smoothie has a frothy consistency.

 

— Use the blender’s “smoothie” setting if it has one. Blend the ingredients for 45-60 seconds, or until you can see that all the ingredients have incorporated.

 

— If you can see streaks of ice cream or chocolate syrup, you need to blend it more.

 

— Make sure the lid is firmly on the blender before you turn it on.

 

— If your blender doesn’t have a “smoothie” setting, just use the medium or high setting.

Step 4

— Taste the smoothie and add more syrup, milk, or ice cream if needed.

 

— Once the smoothie is blended, take off the lid and use a spoon to taste-test it. If it’s too sweet, add more milk or a handful of ice. If it isn’t sweet enough, add more chocolate syrup or ice cream.

 

— Be careful when taking the lid off of the blender the smoothie may spray out a little bit.

 

— Hold a paper towel over the lid to protect your clothes.

Step 5

— Pour the smoothie into 2 tall glasses and top them with whipped cream.

 

If you want a smaller portion, divide the smoothie between 4 short glasses. Depending on what you like, you could top the smoothie with whipped cream or just enjoy it on its own.

 

You could even add a few strawberry slices, nuts, or sprinkles to your smoothie for an extra tasty element.
