Valentine's Smoothie

It has been 3 weeks since I last posted.  I have still had a smoothie most mornings, just nothing new.  I have also been really busy, a couple daycare children, plus my own to take care of during the day, doesn't leave a lot of time for me.  I have made it to the gym several times. It has been challenging with all the kids, plus illnesses (goodness we have NEVER been this sick as a family)! Spring needs to arrive so I can open windows and let the clean air into my house!
BUT today is Valentine's day!  I needed a love inspired smoothie for the day.  So I created a:
 
Chocolate Covered Strawberry Smoothie (oh yum!)
1 Cup soymilk (any milk would do, I just have soy right now)
1/4 C greek yogurt
1 Cup frozen strawberries (maybe more?)
1 T cocoa powder
1 T honey
1 T dried goji berries
2 T hemp seed
1 T bee pollen
1 T ground flax
1 T wheat germ
1 t vanilla extract

I wanted something healthy but yummy. This works. I can taste the strawberry through the chocolate, but it has all the extras to get me the nutrition I need.  Little Miss C is standing by me sucking it down!
