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!
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.
Whether 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
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!
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
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!

Sarah @ Making Thyme for Health says
Okay, so this looks very tasty but now you’ve got me wondering if we’re going to get an announcement from you sometime in the near future. Hmmm… 😉
foodielovesfitness says
Ha! Nope, not that I know of…. I was just wine tasting 2 nights ago actually, so I have to balance it out with a healthy mocktail! 😉

Emily says
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.
foodielovesfitness says
How does that happen?!!! Haha. You might be better off with no stems 🙂 We’ve certainly broken some too along the way!
Emily says
Ooh, and I could totally use some peppermint extract for Christmas cookies!
Jessica says
I’ve never had a non-alcoholic cocktail before… sounds like a great idea! I’d like to try the protein powder the most.

Mmmm we’ve got chocolate AND raspberries in the house that I’m looking to use up (in a smoothie, preferably) – this could be the one!
And I’d love to try the protein powder, or the stevia leaf extract! I have yet to use Stevia in baking, and can alllllwayyys find a use for more protein powder 🙂 Thanks Nicole!
