CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY SMOOTHIE

Hellooo June! I can’t believe it’s finally here. Warm weather, green grass and trees full of leaves, it’s my favorite time of year here in Colorado. June also happens to be National Dairy Month and that is something to celebrate! America’s hard working dairy farmers provide us with so many healthy dairy foods. Did you know that one serving of milk, cheese or yogurt has 8 grams of high-quality protein and 9 essential nutrients?

I can’t imagine a world without dairy. No cheese, no ice cream, no yogurt, no milk…I would be one very sad girl. It’s true that I use non-dairy items in my recipes at times, but I never eliminate it, not when there are so many health benefits. Plus I’m sorry, but nothing can replace real cheese made with cow’s milk and ice cream made with milk and cream is really the only way to go.

To celebrate National Dairy Month I’ve teamed up with American Dairy Association Mideast to bring you this dairy-licious Chocolate Raspberry Smoothie! It’s the perfect post-workout way to refuel, plus you feel like you’re having a real treat because it’s chocolate. Instead of using regular milk I did things a little different and used chocolate milk. Typically chocolate milk isn’t something I use a lot, but after a long and/or hard run it’s actually the perfect recovery drink. Research has shown that the carb to protein ratio in chocolate milk is effective in promoting muscle recovery after an endurance workout. It’s actually been handed out at many of the races I’ve been in as an alternative to other recovery drinks. I’d take a bottle of chocolate milk over those fake fruity drinks any day!
