Chocolate Covered Marzipan Smoothie

Chocolate Covered Marzipan Smoothie

Chocolate Covered Marzipan Smoothie

Now that Christmas is over you may feel the need to start eating some healthier foods and ditch the chocolate.  But why can’t we have our chocolate and our healthier food in the same glass?  This Chocolate Covered Marzipan Smoothie will sort out your chocolate cravings and give you a much needed natural boost at the same time.

Sneaky greens

As I’ve been off green foods lately due to my pregnancy I thought I’d try some ‘sneaky greens’ in my own food and it worked amazingly well in this smoothie as it tasted so good.  I honestly couldn’t tell there were any greens in there.  It’s important for me not to be able to see any green at the moment either as even the sight of them makes me feel sick.  This is not so good for someone with a green smoothie’s website!  Pregnancies are a strange thing!  You can leave out the greens if you’re not a fan.  Lately I’ve not really been liking smoothies thick but this one really suits having some oats in it.  Again the choice is yours.

Chocolate Covered Marzipan SmoothieThe secret ingredient for that marzipan taste

There is one essential secret ingredient in this smoothie that makes it taste exactly like marzipan.  That is Almond Essence! (or Almond Extract)  The recipe simply doesn’t taste special without it, but with it I can almost imagine myself biting into some luscious marzipan as it tastes amazing.  I recently bought myself some almond essence and I don’t know how I lived without it so long as it enhances every recipe I’ve tried it in.  I’ve added it to these healthy muffins (I use date paste instead of sugar) and these gorgeously healthy chocolates. (I just made the chocolates without the filling, used carob powder instead of cacao and added a bit of date paste)  Yum yum yum!  You can get yourself some almond essence here if you don’t have any.  Once you add some to your smoothies, you’ll wonder how you lived without it too!

Is there such a thing as healthy chocolate?

Another thing I should mention is that chocolate doesn’t agree with me most of the time.  I do indulge occassionally and just have to live with shaking and being awake all night long, but it’s not something that I like to go through too often.  I have enough of pregnancy insomnia to content with at the moment.  So I also finally went back to carob and got myself a nice big batch of Organic Carob Powder and I can now make gorgeous homemade chocolates and chocolate smoothies and I can barely tell it’s not chocolate.  You can use either cocoa powder or carob powder for this recipe.  It works with either.  So in the future I’m sure you’ll see lots more chocolaty recipes coming your way.

Are you struggling to lose weight and keep it off?

Are you feeling run down and are struggling with ever increasing health problems?

Green Thickies new 7 Day Detox will help you drop a dress size, improve your skin, your energy will soar and you are going to be so in control and proud of yourself.

You won't go hungry on this diet ... And better yet - it actually requires minimal time in the kitchen.

Get results like this...Hi Katherine,

I just wanted to tell you I completed the 7 day detox and I feel so great.

I have lost 6lbs, do not feel like I need more my morning coffee, the flushing of my facial skin from rosacea has dramatically reduced and I am so excited to wake up each morning and make a green thickie for breakfast!!

I am a stay at-home, homeschooling momma of 3 littles and at times so busy I would forget to feed myself!

I would go most of the day without eating and then snack on random things.

I gained 60 pounds the last 6 years during pregnancy.

I have lost 30lbs but recently plateaued and have felt so frustrated.

I’ve tried everything from paleo and keto to the point where I didn’t know what to eat or how much and felt like even eating fruit was bad for me which thankfully it’s not!

What a game changer for me. Thank you for sharing a simple but effective program.

I’m so excited to continue another week with this plan! Thankful Stephanie

    Hi! I followed the link from FB to this delicious sounding recipe, but I’m not seeing a recipe. I’m not sure if it’s just on my end or something went wrong with the post. Can’t wait to try this chocolate covered marzipan smoothie!

    Hello Katherine! I love the name “Green Thickies”! ;) I’m a big supporter of green smoothies and it’s so fun to come across your site with new recipes and ideas. Looking forward to trying this smoothie in particular. I like how you incorporated carob powder! It has such a round and malty flavor. Can’t wait to slurp this one up! Have a fabulous week!

      Oh wow, in the UK it’s a tradition to eat marzipan at Christmas especially on a Christmas cake. I’m not a massive fan of Christmas cake but I always loved marzipan as a kid. Yum!

    I clicked the link for the almond essence and it didn’t seem to work. I searched for “Fronteir Almond Essence” and nothing was found on Amazon. Can you suggest some other brands to try?

    Thanks!

      Sorry the link didn’t work for you. It is supposed to find something similar in your local Amazon but that’s not always possible. Any brand of Almond Extract or Almond Essence will work just as well here.

    Hi, love the look of this recipe but curious as to how many it serves? I only have a limited amount of space in my fridge/freezer and want to ensure I have a nice variety in my diet (doing a smoothie ‘fast’ this week to boost my weight loss). I have been surfing through your site for a few days and want to try as many recipes as possible but don’t want to be left with loads of leftovers.

      Hi Raye
      Thank you, it serves 2. Almost all of my recipes on this website serve 2. They are all meal replacement smoothies too so are very filling. If you are trying to lose weight I would only drink 1 serving per meal (half of a recipe).

    I made this smoothie this morning. Its really a meal in a glass! I used all the options. The only change I made was to use 1 cup of turnip greens and 1 cup of spinach which you definitely will not taste. My husband will be so happy to get his half of the smoothie when he gets home from work. I always ask him to try to guess what’s in the smoothies. He probably won’t figure this one out except for the chocolate and the almond.

      Hi Dorothy, Green Thickies contain about 419 calories, remember they are a full meal, not a snack. https://www.greenthickies.com/basic-green-thickie-recipe/
