Now, before you turn your nose up - just hear me out. One time in Paris {I love that I can say that} we were strolling our favorite street, Rue Cler, and came across a quaint little ice cream shop {aren't all shops "quaint" in Paris?}. Seeing as how I was in my most dreamed-about city, I threw caution to the wind and told the ice cream'er, "you choose!" Much to my surprise—and a little bit to my disgust—he put a big dollop of chocolate in the middle {we were on the right path...} with a decoration of passion fruit on the outside. Passion fruit?! With chocolate? What kind of a weird Parisian trick is this...
The best trick of my life - that's what. Do you know how many more times I went back for that exact same concoction? I won't tell you—just know that it's borderline embarrassing. I have spent the rest of my days finding ways to pair these two flavors. Naturally, a Shakeology Bowl was the perfect excuse to combine, devour and reminisce.
The essentials.
That consistency though.
If you're on the market for a blender I highly recommend the Blendtec. The hubs surprised me with it when he'd seen me fighting with my crappy $20 blender one too many times. After I scolded him for spending unnecessary money on a blender {coupons and all}, I fully embraced the touch-screen, stress-free, smoothie-perfection device. {Also makes ice cream, soup, hummus, salsa, baby food and SO much more!}
Chocolate Passion Fruit ShakeO Bowl
Servings: 1
Total time: 5 minutes
Ingredients
Shakeology
- 1 packet Chocolate Shakeology
- 1 cup frozen tropical fruit blend
- 1 Light & Fit Greek Tropical Fruit yogurt
- 1 cup raw baby spinach
- Splash of almond milk
- Ice, ice, baby
- *Splash of water if necessary
- Pineapple chunks
- Fresh blueberries
- Fresh raspberries
- Unsweetened shredded coconut
- Granola
- *Shavings of chocolate would be amazing, too!
- Throw all Shakeology ingredients into blender and blend until completely smooth. Continue adding ice until consistency mimics ice cream. You should be able to take a scoop with your spoon and it stays on your spoon instead of dripping off like liquid.
- Pour your ShakeO into a bowl and top with all toppings. A swivel of chocolate sauce never hurt anyone, either ;-)
- Be transported to the cobblestone of Rue Cler in Paris!
