It's Friday afternoon and I'm sitting at my computer working when I get a craving for an Almond Joy candy bar. I have my beautiful mom to thank for introducing me to this delicious blend of coconut, almonds, and chocolate. Since I am trying to eat less processed foods I decided to see if I could kill this craving with another alternative, I turned to my Vitamix (https://secure.vitamix.com/default.aspx) for a smoothie and it turned out awesome! I was able to satisfy my sweets craving without killing the waist line. Success in my book :) Hope you enjoy it as much as I decide to try it!
Ingredients:
6 oz Almond Breeze Almond Milk, Unsweetened Vanilla
1 tbs. shredded coconut, Unsweetened
1 scoop Isopure Dutch Chocolate (low carb) protein powder
1 tbs slivered almonds
1 packet of Truvia
1 cup ice cubes
Add all ingredients to the blender and mix!
{Tip: I blend the almond milk and ice together first and then add the rest of the items and blend again for a better consistency}
