Chocolate Raspberry Mocktail + Puritan’s Pride Giveaway!

Disclaimer: This post is sponsored by Puritan’s Pride, but as always, all opinions expressed are my own.

Hi friends!

Today’s post is the last installment of my 3-part Puritan’s Pride seasonal smoothie challenge. You may remember that in October, the theme was pumpkin smoothies (you can check out my chocolate chip pumpkin protein smoothie here), and my November creation was a pineapple mint smoothie for the belly soother smoothie theme. So what do we have going on for this month? Yummy mocktails!

mocktail-3

This simple 4-ingredient mocktail includes dark chocolate and cocoa powder, which are sources of antioxidants to support total-body wellness. Raspberries are a great source of antioxidants, fiber, and nutrients, and using frozen ones makes the mocktail a bit creamier.

mocktail-1Whether you’re pregnant, the designated driver, or just not into drinking alcohol, a creative non-alcoholic beverage is a great way to feel like you’re drinking something more fun than the usual boring drinks of choice. With all of the holiday gatherings everyone has going on, what seasonal smoothie theme is more appropriate this month than a healthy cocktail?! 

Chocolate Raspberry Mocktail

Servings 1

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup frozen raspberries
  • 2/3 cup chocolate almond/soy/regular milk
  • 1 TBSP cocoa powder
  • 1 TBSP dark chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Combine all ingredients in a blender and pulse until smooth.
  • Pour into a martini glass and enjoy!
Tried this recipe?Let us know how it was!

mocktail-2

Ignore the fact that my martini glass is wedding themed and not holiday themed! Amongst my many glasses, martini-style is not one that I collect due to my tendency to be an animated person who talks with my hands. I wind up spilling all over the place, but here I wanted to stay true to my mocktail and serve it in the proper glass! 😉

I digress… now onto the best part: THE GIVEAWAY!

ONE READER WILL WIN:

  • Puritan’s Pride Chocolate Soy Protein Isolate Powder
  • Lehi Valley Natural Ginger
  • Dynamic Health Pomegranate Juice Concentrate
  • Vanns Peppermint Flavor Extract
  • Puritan’s Pride Vitamin C Crystals
  • Stevia Powder

Puritans Pride-Dec products

I especially have been loving the peppermint extract (perfect for baking this time of the year!) and the stevia powder, and the chocolate soy protein is very similar to the brand’s natural flavored protein that I love and gave away last month. It’s great to throw half a scoop into smoothies, cereal bowls, and pancakes to get some extra protein in my diet!

TO ENTER THE GIVEAWAY, YOU CAN DO ANY OF THE FOLLOWING: 

  • Follow @puritanspride on Twitter
  • Leave a comment telling me which product you’d like to try the most
  • Tweet about the giveaway (you can retweet any tweets I send out about the giveaway @foodiemtfitness)
  • Post a smoothie on Instagram using #seasonalsmoothie and #puritanspride hashtags, or repost any Puritan’s Pride mocktail pictures I publish @foodielovesfitness

Each method gets you one entry into the giveaway each time you do it. Make sure to leave a separate comment below for each of the ways that you’ve entered the giveaway. I’ll randomly choose a winner next Friday, Dec. 19th. 

Also, along with the free shipping that Puritan’s Pride is offering all of its customers, there’s a special discount that you can use on their website if you buy any products via the links in this post. It’ll automatically get you $5 off of a purchase of $25!

You can also find Puritan’s Pride via their blog, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram and YouTube accounts.

    I don’t have any martini glasses either. I’ve actually asked for stemless wine glasses for Christmas; out of the three dozen we started out with, we have three left and I think one of them we stole from the neighbor.

Confession: I’m not at all a big meal prepper❗️But, there are a few things I make most weeks that help make healthy eating simple: 

1️⃣ I bake a bunch of sweet potatoes. Then, I can easily use them for a veggie side, make sweet potato pancakes, or to incorporate into a healthy dinner - plus, sweet potatoes are always a winner with my 5 year old, so they’re a “safe” veggie I like to have around. 

2️⃣ Two, I whip up a batch of energy bites. I pack them with ingredients like hemp seeds, nut butters, and oats, and they’re great for both a grab and go snack for everyone in the house + a homemade kindergarten snack instead of packing a packaged bar. 

3️⃣I make a few cups of brown rice. Rice is so versatile, and I’ll use it for a few weeknight dinners, such as rice and beans, in burritos & with sautéed veggies and chickpeas. 

Who else is NOT a big meal prepper?! 

PS - Check out my new blueberry energy bite recipe in my stories today! It’s also my first #linkinbio.

Confession: I’m not at all a big meal prepper❗️But, there are a few things I make most weeks that help make healthy eating simple: 1️⃣ I bake a bunch of sweet potatoes. Then, I can easily use them for a veggie side, make sweet potato pancakes, or to incorporate into a healthy dinner - plus, sweet potatoes are always a winner with my 5 year old, so they’re a “safe” veggie I like to have around. 2️⃣ Two, I whip up a batch of energy bites. I pack them with ingredients like hemp seeds, nut butters, and oats, and they’re great for both a grab and go snack for everyone in the house + a homemade kindergarten snack instead of packing a packaged bar. 3️⃣I make a few cups of brown rice. Rice is so versatile, and I’ll use it for a few weeknight dinners, such as rice and beans, in burritos & with sautéed veggies and chickpeas. Who else is NOT a big meal prepper?! PS - Check out my new blueberry energy bite recipe in my stories today! It’s also my first #linkinbio. #healthyeating #mealprep #healthylifestyle #veggies #eatrealfood #energybites #myhealthylife #healthyfoodie #plantbasedfood #healthysnacking

Unpopular opinion: We put too much pressure on Mother’s Day.

Sure, it’s a day when moms can be pampered, choose what they want to do, and kick back a little bit more than usual…

..but if your kid throws a tantrum or your husband forgets to get you a gift or everything doesn’t go according to plan, in reality, it’s just another day. 

Moms should be thanked by their families any day of the week. 
Moms should feel “free” to not do it all any day of the month. 
Moms should be able to practice self-care, guilt-free, any day of the year. 

Leave a ‘❤️’ if you’re all about dropping the unrealistic expectations & just having a fun family day on Mother’s Day!

I’ve really been enjoying wine country living over the past 1.5 years! 🥂☀️So far I’ve tasted at almost half of the nearly 50 wineries, & here are the stand outs for me thus far: 

MY FAVORITES — 
-Monte de Oro ~ Joined their wine club & have hung out here countless times 🙌🏼 Their wines are awesome, the staff is friendly & they have an expansive patio. Bonus: they decorate so wonderfully for Christmas! @montedeoro
-Leoness ~ Yummy reds, the views here are lovely & they usually have live music Fri-Sun, + their beautifully curated store is my favorite in the valley for grabbing wine country gifts. Also joined the wine club @leonesscellars 

GREAT FOR PICNICKING — 
-Masia de La Vinya ~ Offering Spanish style wines & lots of outdoor seating on their patio, patrons are free to bring food to this boutique winery Sun-Fri @masiadelavinyawinery (note: children are not allowed on Saturdays) 

MY TOP PICK FOR A DATE — 
-Europa ~ Offering not one, not two, but THREE tasting rooms (Italian, Spanish & French styles), Europa has picturesque grounds, a resort & Spanish restaurant, making it a perfect pick to relax at & stay awhile! @europavillage

FUN WITH KIDS — 
-Peltzer ~ @peltzerwinery has some great kid-friendly events, including a fall pumpkin patch, winter skating rink & movie nights. Note: Most of the time they’re only kid-friendly Sun-Thurs.
-Longshadow Ranch ~ @longshadowranchwinery is a Temecula winery with a western flair that has animals to visit with, regular family-friendly events & a small playground to entertain kiddos while the adults try the wines. Also nice for picnicking! Try their port in a chocolate boot 🍫 I’ve also heard they regularly have bonfire nights, which are on my bucket list to make it to soon.
