It’s no secret that I love chocolate. Why should it be? Chocolate CAN be good for you – not to mention good for the people that live with me when I have some… but, then again, it is often in my best interest for them to have some, too!

We frequently experiment with smoothie concoctions. Some are great … others are great flops. Perhaps you understand what I mean and have had both in your kitchen.

Creating smoothies is a group effort in our kitchen. You just never know who is going to make one or what they’re going to make. It seems fair, though… You try my smoothie and I’ll try yours. We share in the enjoyment and delight… or we share in the expressions of cringing faces and a unanimous vote to not make THAT again. But they are shared moments… and those are the best kind!

Recently, our youngest (currently 12) created a chocolate concoction that has received expressions of “Mmmm” and licked lips… So we’ve been stuck on this smoothie for days. Why mess with a good thing, right?

In addition to chocolate, I like wine too… as you may have noticed 🙂

Well, in continuous efforts to step out of my comfort zones (a lifelong process, to be sure), I jumped stepped off of the proverbial cliff and used Periscope today to share how we make this Beloved Chocolate Concoction our daughter created.

For those that prefer youtube, it’s found in the video below

If you try it, I’d love to know what you think. And I would love to hear what you put in your chocolate smoothies!
