Have you ever wondered how you can satisfy your craving for chocolate without feeling guilty about extra calories, fat, and cholesterol? I have recently created a chocolate milkshake that allows you to do just that.
The combination of Oikos Greek yogurt, fat free while still thick and delicious, together with banana creates a creamy, rich milkshake texture, while agave syrup provides a natural sweetness. The only small amount of fat in this concoction may come from cocoa powder. There are cocoa powders that are completely fat free such Wonderslim. However, Hershey's only has 0.5 grams and Scharffen Berger contains 1 gram per serving. Chocolate here is an essential indulgence and thus I recommend this as the only concession.
Ingredients: (2 cups)
1 1/2 cups skim nonfat milk
2 tablespoons plain Oikos Greek yogurt
1 banana, sliced
2 tablespoons natural unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tablespoon agave syrup
Directions:
Combine all ingredients in a large measuring cup and blend with immersion blender or mix in a regular blender until smooth and bubbly on top. Serve immediately.
