Strawberry Cocoa Mud
It’s a scorcher out there today so I thought I’d share my recipe for a favourite summer refresher. I just came indoors after a full day out in the garden and this drink was exactly the right cool down treat.
Ingredients:
- 1 frozen banana, chopped
- 1 cup frozen strawberries
- 2-3 cups chocolate rice milk (less milk makes a thicker shake)
- 1/2 cup plain yoghurt (this is optional but makes a smoother drink)
- Optional: 1 tbsp cocoa powder (makes an extra chocolatey drink)
1. Place all ingredients into a blender and blend.
2. Pour into a chilled glass.

Ooh… what kind of strawberry is that?

It’s a pink-flowering everbearing.

What exactly constitutes a ’scorcher’ in Toronto? Here in Los Angeles, it’s when the latest wild fire leaves your front yard charred and smoking…

It was in the 30s C yesterday and the humidity was VERY high.

This sounds delicious! Like chocolate covered strawberries in a glass. I’m going to have to try it.

Sounds very similar to a fruit smoothie I make: 1 cup sliced and frozen strawberries, 2 sliced frozen bananas, and 1 cup passion/orange/guava juice made from frozen concentrate. Pulse the berries and banana in a blender until finely chopped, then add the POG and blend until pureed. I usually dilute the POG a little to cut down on the sugar content. Sometimes I throw in a little pineapple or a few raspberries or blueberries…all frozen, of course. Yum! I prep and freeze the fruit ahead of time in ziplock bags in pre-measured quantities.
