Rich, thick and amazingly decadent without all the unhealthy ingredients. This frozen hot chocolate oat smoothie is so good, you'll have no idea it's vegan!
Add everything (except the extra milk) into a blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Do not add the ice if you are making the regular version.
Pour half of the chocolate milk into ice cube trays. I got about 17-18 ice cubes. Store the rest of the chocolate milk in the fridge.
Freeze overnight.
The next day, let the extra chocolate milk sit on the counter a bit, or heat for 20 seconds in the microwave, to allow it to get thinner as it thickens in the fridge.
Blend the ice cubes, the leftover chocolate milk and the extra milk until smooth and creamy!
Quick version:
Blend all ingredients, plus about 20 ice cubes, in a blender until smooth.
Notes
To make this nut free, use soy, coconut or rice milk. Although it may not be as creamy.
Start with ¼ cup extra milk when blending and add more as needed.
The tomato paste is not a typo, it is a secret ingredient that gives chocolate an extra layer of richness
If you do the quick version, you may need more ice depending on your blender and how thick you want it. Start with 20 and add more as you go.
This makes 3 cups of chocolate milk, after you freeze half into cubes, you will have 1 ½ cups left.
