"The term 'choco' is not recognized" when executing command remotely

I'm trying to use Powershell to remotely install Chocolatey and Choco packages. I was able to install Chocolatey without issue remotely using the following (my txt file contained a single server):

$ComputerList = "C:\temp\DataDogServers.txt"
$Computers = Get-Content -Path $ComputerList

Invoke-Command -ComputerName $Computers -ScriptBlock {
    Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol -bor 3072; iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))
}

When I then try to execute remote choco commands, its tosses back The term 'choco' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. I confirmed running choco on the remote server properly works.

Its probably installed but not updated the PATH of your current session. Either use the fully qualified path to choco.exe, or update/reload your PATH environment variable.
