Chocolate Orange Smoothie

This chocolate orange smoothie is just so darn good. It reminds me of those chocolate oranges you have to smack on the counter and they break into little chocolate slices. My mom used to put one in my stocking every year. I don’t delight in chocolate quite as much as I used to these days, but I’ll drink one of these for breakfast anytime. A delicious way to sneak some spinach into your diet. Popeye would be proud!

Don’t be alarmed—CALL OFF THE KETO POLICE—the orange is for decorative purposes only, because an itty bitty container of orange extract just isn’t as cute.
