Steph's post about veggies in her oats reminded me of this recipe by Valerie Waugaman.
Chocolate Berrilicious Sauce
1 cup mixed berries (frozen or fresh blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, etc.)
½ cup water
1 cup raw spinach leaves
1 scoop Chocolate Protein Powder (my favorite is Protein Peptide 2.O by Xtreme Formulations)
1 tbsp cocoa powder (for extra chocolicious)
Optional natural sweeteners: Stevia - few drops, Agave Nectar - ½ Tbsp, or Xylitol - 1packet
Place fruit, water and spinach into a small saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Pour contents into blender (Vita-Mix), add protein powder, cocoa and natural sweetener (optional) then blend to a smooth consistency. About 30 seconds in the Vita-Mix. Pour this yummy chocolate treat over a bowl of hot oatmeal, whole-grain pancakes or French toast. Or just eat it up as is! You will love it! Kids will love you and you can feel good knowing it is full of healthy goodness!
