Sugarpova chocolates are sealed with a kiss |
A thick, sweet milkshake is a wonderful summertime indulgence - unless you are lactose intolerant, or watching your weight. My daughter and I can’t drink milk or eat ice cream, though small amounts of milk chocolate are fine.
We are a family of chocoholics, so I was thrilled when I was sent samples of Maria Sharapova new Sugarpova premium chocolate line. There are four flavors of the lip embossed bars: dark chocolate, milk chocolate, milk chocolate with strawberry and dark chocolate with toasted coconut.
The milk chocolate with strawberry inspired me to make a milkshake facsimile: a couple of squares of melted chocolate, with a frozen banana and strawberries, blended together. Tire resulting shake, or smoothie, is best thinned out with a little soy or almond milk, and is a lower sugar and calorie dessert than a scoop of ice cream. Plus its loaded with fruit and it tastes great.
The non-GMO, Kosher chocolate bars are 3.5 ounces, so ideal for sharing.
Milkshake alternative:
1 frozen banana
3 strawberries
1/4 cup unsweetened soy or almond milk (you can use regular low fat milk if you can tolerate it)
4 squares of milk chocolate with strawberry, melted
Chocolate, bananas and strawberries: yummy! |
Put all ingredients in a blender and process until smooth
Serves - and delights - one
