Creamy deliciousness in a glass. This smoothie is so luscious, it’s sure to become a regular favorite. Enjoy!
We make smoothies in my house at least 3 to 4 times a week. They are great to whip up on a busy weekday for a take along breakfast. A smoothie is also nice in the evening as a snack. In my book anytime is the right time for a smoothie. Especially if it has peanut butter and chocolate in it. Try this yummy, creamy smoothie soon. You will taste for yourself how luscious it is.
