Triple Berry Chocolate Drizzled Coconut Smoothie

So I know berry smoothies are more ‘summer time’, but I miss them dearly!! Last night I was craving a smoothie, or a milk shake, something yummy and satisfying for dessert, something chocolatey (you know, a girls best friend).  But I don’t eat junk food anymore, so that means no candy for halloween, no deserts when I go out to eat, no munching on cookies co-workers bring in.  I really don’t cheat, I’m surprisingly good at being able to say know (especially for someone who grew up eating a pillowcase full of halloween candy in one week!).

Because of this, so many people ask me ‘How can you deny a good slice of cake every once in a while?  Your so young, you should live a little! You’re missing out’.  Actually, here’s photo evidence that I am not missing out on anything;D  You see, I might deny the processed deserts and snacks now, but later I make sure to give myself the good stuff, no holding back!  I kind of feel like this is similar to, well, sin, you deny instant gratification now for a much greater reward later <3

So yes, I still treat myself, I just choose to do it a little better than a McD’s milkshake;)

Everything in here is pretty good for you, coconut is fattening but nutritious, berries and chocolate are packed full of antioxidants, dates are full of healthy sugars and fiber, nuts for your topping help provide a little bit of omega-3s, AND I added Camu Camu powder (if you have it great, if not, no biggie) for an extra boost of Vitamin C and Cranberry powder to keep a healthy urinary tract!  So lets dig in!
