If you want to use fresh strawberries instead of the bagged frozen fruit you get in the grocery freezer, you'll still have to freeze your fresh fruit. And we think that's too much work especially when bagged frozen organic strawberries are just as good. For this recipe, you want frozen strawberries because they chill the smoothie without diluting it, so you get a thick, flavorful drink.<\/p>" } } , { "@type": "Question", "name": "What is the difference between cocoa powder and cacao powder?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "
Both powders are derived from cacao beans. However, in the making of cocoa powder, the cacao beans are roasted and, at some point, usually sweetened with sugar and milk. Cacao powder is unprocessed, so it usually gets high marks as being better for us, but with a bitter flavor that might take some getting used to. For various reasons, some recipes will call for one or the other or indicate you can use either. We suggest following the recipe for the best results.<\/p>" } } ] } ] } ]
