The Mexican Hot Chocolate smoothie is by far my all-time favorite. I love to treat my family with this one and serve it up in a pretty glass topped with edible flowers and fresh mint.
Creating this smoothie is fast, quick, and easy, but I love to sit back and savor the flavor. It’s a great way to start the day.
If you have to take it on the go, drink it from the mixer cup and DRINK UP PEOPLE!
