Sometimes ice cream can be too fattening and can wreck the diet with just one bite. But you still have that desire for something cold and creamy on a hot summer day.

In comes this recipe, delicious chocolate kefir frosty.
While this recipe is not totally fat free, you will be using healthier ingredients to reduce the fat found in this drink as a whole. One ingredient that is very important in creating this recipe is milk kefir. If you haven’t prepare milk kefir before, you can find the recipe here. Milk kefir is a probiotic drink that helps the digestive system do its job and provide many necessary nutrients and vitamins that are important to the body in so many ways. Milk kefir can be consumed on a daily basis instead of those sugary sodas and fruit drinks that is consistently and readily available everywhere you turn. Making a change like substituting one soda drink per day with milk kefir is going to make a difference in so many ways.
This recipe calls for cocoa powder. Cocoa powder comes with some benefits of its own. The cocoa seeds or beans are extracted from the pod and then fermented long enough to produce the right color and flavor. Once this bean is ready, it is then dried, roasted, and then ground into the form of a paste. This process removes the fat from the beans so that the end result is an unsweetened cocoa powder. The cocoa powder has between 3% and 9% of the recommended daily allowance of minerals such as iron, zinc, manganese, and magnesium. Cocoa has two flavonoids; epicatechin and catechin which brings antioxidants and relaxes the muscles found in the blood vessels that can help improve the flow of the blood.
