The Ultimate Chocolate Martini

Rich, creamy and chocolatey….this dairy based martini is the best you’ll ever have.

June is Dairy Month which means it’s time to celebrate #AllThingsDairy!

Fresh nutritious dairy foods like milk, cheese and yogurt don’t just taste delicious; they’re good for your body! Dairy foods are the #1 source of calcium in most individual’s daily diet and offer 9 essential nutrients.  Milk and dairy products are fresh 365 days a year, making Dairy Month a great time to think about exciting, nutrient rich combinations like creative grilled cheese sandwiches, salads and refreshing desserts.

Join in the fun & deliciousness and celebrate “All Things Dairy” with 15 Food Bloggers from around the country as we celebrate #AllThingsDairy by sharing some of our favorite dairy recipes PLUS enter for a chance to win one of 3 Cuisinart ICE-30BC Pure Indulgence™ Frozen Yogurt-Sorbet & Ice Cream Makers to entice you to make your own delicious dairy treats this summer!  (THIS is the ice cream maker I use and LOVE!)

The American Dairy Association & Dairy Council salutes its local dairy farmers with a celebration of #AllThingsDairy as they seek nutritious recipes combining milk, cheese and yogurt with fresh produce.  To learn more about the health benefits of dairy and the essential role it plays in your diet visit DairyGood.org

Leave it to me to try to slip a little dairy into one of my favorite libations!!!  To increase your calcium intake in a new way, whip up this easy Chocolate Martini! Sometimes you have to indulge a little bit, especially when you’re trying to eat more healthily. This is my favorite way to unwind after a stressful day and it goes surprisingly well with a bowl full of fresh strawberries. The perfect dessert in my opinion. Try it, I think you’ll agree….and know you’ll be building stronger bones while sipping on this sweet, chocolately dream.
