I am not a coconut fan but pairing it with chocolate has changed my perceptions for it altogether. I have made a bounty chocolate inspired shake which I have also named Bounty Cold Cocoa. This shake is a total game changer and is a very good and refreshing option to drink in the summers. Bounty cold cocoa is absolutely a delight to your tastebuds and whether you have it as a breakfast smoothie or an evening drink, it’s a total blast. The texture of this smoothie is like you are drinking a chilled hot chocolate with coconut flavour which is so so yum.
INGREDIENTS USED IN THIS BOUNTY COLD COCOA
COCONUT WATER
I have used fresh coconut water from tender coconut, but you can use packaged one also. Also, tender coconut water helps your body to cool down and helps in beating the summer heat.
MILK
I have used normal milk in this recipe. If you want more coconut flavour in your bounty cold cocoa, you can use coconut milk also.
COCOA POWDER
To give that intense chocolate flavour to my bounty cold cocoa, I added Hershey’s cocoa powder in it. I used combination of chocolate and cocoa powder in this recipe because I love their taste together.
CORNFLOUR
For the chocolate slurry and to give that thickness to my bounty cold cocoa I have used cornflour in it, but you can totally skip it while making if you wish to.
HOW TO MAKE THIS SMOOTHIE HEALTHIER?
- Avoid using cornflour while making the chocolate slurry.
- Either use cocoa powder or chocolate chips. I will suggest using chocolate chips because it’s a better option to use.
- You can add flaxseeds, chia seeds etc to your smoothie which tastes nice.
- You can add coconut flesh to this smoothie for more coconutty taste.
- Replace sugar with honey or coconut sugar.
