Coconut Milk Chocolate Smoothie with Coconut Whipped Cream

I have been into coconut and coconut milk lately. Not to even talk about coconut yoghurt, which currently is one of my faves. That’s why I wanted to try a smoothie made out of coconut yoghurt. And guess what?! It’s delicious!

Of course I just had to put some chocolate into it. I was trying to keep it as healthy as I could by using dark chocolate. If you think that I have hard time trying to lessen my chocolate habit after the holiday season, you are correct.

Then I found this smooth and melt-in-your-mouth velvet called whipped coconut milk. It is delish! Once you try it you cannot go back…
