    Summer heat is starting to show up in the Pacific Northwest and that means I am going to try stay away from the stove and the oven to avoid a heatstroke. And make some smoothies and shakes every 2 hours! 

    This chocolatey smoothie has chocolate chips, cocoa powder, chia seeds to thicken, and a bit of zest. Chia seeds get blended into the shake to make a smooth very creamy and thick drink. Chia is an acquired flavor, so use flax or psyllium husk to thicken for variation, or omit it. Add some flour for a batter like flavor. This thick dreamy shake feels like a brownie that has been blended up. Serve with chocolate chips and vegan vanilla ice cream scoop.

      Would I be able to make this using cocoa powder? I don’t have any vegan chocolate chips on hand this week, and I was hoping to make this.

      Oh, and could I add coffee?

        Sure, use cocoa powder. The chocolate also adds a bit of creamyness, so maybe add some cashew cream as well.

      Hi. With recent publicity about salmonella in flour, it’s not a good idea to eat uncooked batter, or in this case the smoothie with the flour in it. Otherwise, it looks yummy. Thanks. Lisa

        Flour is optional. Salmonella is definitely a problem in flour right now. It is all over the news, so I hope everyone already knows to use other brands if they want or omit flour.
