So good 😍😍
This was delicious and kept me full/energized all morning! I prepped the night before, chopping the bananas and zucchini and popping them in the freezer for easy assembly in the morning.
Guys, don't worry. Sadia wouldn't steer us wrong. It feels totally weird starting a chocolate smoothie recipe by sauteing zucchini, but keep going - it's worth it! Lots of healthy ingredients but it tastes great
Delicious smoothie!
This was so delicious, I truly enjoyed it ❤️
This was very yummy! We had this tonight for dessert after dinner wasn't quite enough. I did add 2x the cocoa because of the color and i wanted it a bit more chocolate flavor. Great way to sneak in extra veggies too.
So mine turned out green-ish grey, not brown !😅
But was delicious anyway!
I didn’t cook the courgette, as didn’t see the point, and omitted ice.
Love this 🫶🫶
How big the zucchini is supposed to be for the recipe? Asking for a person (me) that has a zucchini that is incredible big (about 2kg) 😅
Did put a little bit of pieces of date 😋
Very nice smoothie, did it but without zucchini as did not have. I put half banana, chocolate caramel protein powder, almond milk, water as prefer more liquid smoothie. I put kale powder, matcha powder, spirulina. It was very nice. Maybe I should have put a little more raw cacao powder green colour smoothie instead 😍😊💚💚
Great way how to start your day
This is so rich yet healthy, it's a new go-to in our house. I add some chocolate protein powder for extra protein. I find soaking the dates in warm water for 5-10 minutes makes them blend up more smoothly.
I’ve been making this all week! So creamy 😍
This was surprisingly delicious, I didn’t even taste the spinach or zucchini! I do want to be able to cook the zucchini ahead of time and freeze it for when I want to make this later just to save me that step. Would doing so change the nutritional value, consistency or flavor at all?
It was way better than I expected it to be. I usually don’t like chocolate smoothies but the sweetness of the dates really balanced it out.
Hands down The best chocolate smoothie i have had in my life. I swapped oat for soy for protein, and almond butter and flax seeds for hazelnut butter, also skipped the water and ice
It is delicious, fresh, creamy, filling, dessert-like, satisfying... just perfect!
Great smoothie, making it again today 😋
I liked this one.
Very good smoothie!
We had it as part of dinner: this and homemade sweet potato fries (baked).
This is the tastiest thing EVER!!!!! My husband said he would carry the blender around anywhere, even to the museum, just so I could make this more often. 🤣
Very tasty and satisfying as a dessert. Beautifully curbs these PMS chocolate cravings ❤️
I add protein powder to have after my workout. Absolutely delicious! Tastes like a chocolate brownie. Yum!!
Love it! I haven't been eating as many veggies as I like lately so this is a sneaky way (and yummy) to get more in.
Finally I made my four-year-old get zucchini in her stomach 😄 it’s delicious!
Yummy!
The zucchini makes it so refreshing! I also added about a 1/3 cup vanilla oat milk ice cream (I didn’t have ice) which gave it a little sweeter flavor. Really liked it!
Sooo good! And soo healthy :)
First time smoothie maker! Yummy for me but it only won over 1 of 2 kids. I used frozen zucchini like others suggested. I sprinkled sea salt flakes on top. I would make again.
Question: how to make a milk chocolate version?
That one tastes great although in my case it was not easy on the eye since it was more dirty green than chocolate brown. But since I used black kale instead of the spinach that’s probably the cause (more chlorophyll).
Obe remark for the PUL team:
Would you consider adding more weight measurements to the ingredients? The scientist in me has a hard time with something like 1/8 of a zucchini ;)
All the best, Shirin
Every time I try another recipe here it becomes my new favorite so it’s no shocker that I’m currently drinking this and thinking I’ve got a new favorite.
Good chocolate smoothie, not too sweet. Like other reviewers I also skipped the first step and just threw everything into the blender. I will definitely be making this again.
Delicious!
Delicious, to be honest I never read the directions. I just put everything in the blender and it turned out great.
Personally it’s not as flavorful as I would have hoped, but it does taste good. It’s not overly sweet and it’s not ‘green’ tasting either. I might add a little more chocolate or banana next time.
So tasty! I used frozen zucchini instead of cooking it and so I also left out the ice and it worked out perfectly! Healthy but tastes like a treat!
