Greetings From The Castle!
Alright – some of you will probably GAG when you see what I’m making today – it’s not your “usual” smoothie recipe but it sure is tasty. Really. It has bacon in it so it can’t be all bad right?
Bacon Chocolate Smoothie
Yes that’s right……………….and I know you think that just couldn’t “work” but it does. The recipe calls for coconut milk which may not be readily available to you but the coconut flavor is nice in this – however I’m sure if you used low-fat milk or 2% milk it would be just fine.
Ingredients:
1 cup of coconut milk
1TB of cocoa powder
1TB of honey or maple syrup
1 banana
4 strips of cooked regular bacon (or 2 strips of thick bacon)
6-9 ice cubes
Directions:
It’s so difficult. (HAHAHA) Throw everything in a blender and blend till smooth! Eat with bacon on the side – you know – the EXTRA bacon you made when you made the bacon for the smoothie??? YOU KNOW YOU MADE EXTRA!
This really is yummy. But I will forgive you if you pass on this one because it just seems to strange. You’ll just be missing out on a treat!!
Your King Wishes You A Baconized Weekend!

I love smoothies but I have to be honest, even if I could have bacon I think I would leave it out.

I agree it’s unusual…..I like fruit smoothies myself!

I am not a smoothie drinker. SSNS occasionally makes smoothies and I have to leave the room when he drinks them… it’s a consistency/texture thing. I don’t have any trouble sipping down a chocolate malt, so I dunno. I think it goes back to when he was making smoothies with all sorts of Chinese herbs from the acupuncturist. I will eat that bacon on the side though… or save my bacon for bacon wrapped chicken and mushroom sauce!

I don’t “get” the smoothies with weird (at least weird to me!) stuff in them….seeds, herbs, etc. I like REAL fruit smoothies – fruit/milk. Guess I’m a smoothie snob?? I made that bacon wrapped chicken and mushrooms one day last week – still one of our faves here. HELLO STINKYVILLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hadn’t thought of that – a nice (?) tropical storm would at least get the water situation better!

I’m a real smoothie snob too. I make my own for lunch every day. Coconut milk…probably not for me. But Teddy, you sure do keep your perfect pink nosie to the grindstone finding us things to try. XX

I enjoy smoothies and when you mention chocolate….that’s even better. I will have to leave the bacon out, but the coconut milk sounds tasty. Thanks Teddy.

Know what? I agree about the bacon – it’s just not necessary – this would be great without it.

I am the one who will pass on this. I do not do coconut,honey,or maple syrup(except on a pancake). I am sure it is good though. Storms tonight but; nothing bad they say. Cooler this morning and than 80. Enjoy your day.

Bacon works with almost everything. This would taste great, but what a way to take a healthy smoothie and make it, well, not so healthy!

That’s for sure……I would say bacon doesn’t really add much to this – I like the cocoanut milk/chocolate combo though!!

Mom is thinking she would make the smoothie without the bacon and then have the bacon on the side. It does sound good to her without it, but she is probably not as bacon crazed as some people.
