Starwberry Chocolate Milk

Every year I eagerly await strawberry season,though it is a very short one for only 1 1/2 months,I never miss a chance to have them.I don't eat them as such that much,I am more keen on using these berries in my dishes and try out new recipes.The other day I made strawberry milk to go along with vegetable sandwich.While preparing,I thought of adding cocoa powder,as chocolate ans strawberry are made for each other :),and a handful of almonds provided the necessary crunch and viola it was such a tasty drink that left us wanting more.Not really a recipe but I really urge you all to try.
