Chocolate Covered Smoothie Cubes

1. Make your favorite smoothie. For this recipe, the author suggests avoiding ice to prevent the cubes from becoming too icy, opting for yogurt instead to maintain richness.
2. For the recommended smoothie base: Combine 1 acai packet, 1 banana, a handful of frozen blueberries, vanilla yogurt, and enough almond milk to cover everything in a blender.
3. Blend the ingredients until smooth, then transfer the mixture to an ice cube tray.
4. Freeze the smoothie cubes for at least an hour or two, or even longer (the author froze theirs for 4 hours).
5. Once frozen, remove the cubes from the freezer and allow them to thaw slightly while you prepare the chocolate for dipping.
6. Melt 1/2 cup of chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in the microwave. Heat in two 30-second increments, stirring well in between, until the mixture is smooth.
7. Drop each smoothie cube into the melted chocolate and coat it completely. The warm chocolate will begin to freeze very quickly on the cold cubes, so work efficiently.
8. You can enjoy them immediately if the chocolate on the cube has set, or place them back in the freezer for a few extra minutes to ensure they are fully set before serving. Enjoy!
