Almond Milk Peanut Butter Chocolate Smoothie
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. My favorite snack time is a late night snack.
Goes down easy and tastes so good. Almond milk really is a nice addition for a “smooth” tasting smoothie.
Really, anytime is the right time for a smoothie.
Especially if it has peanut butter and chocolate in it.
In my book, there is no better food combo than peanut butter and chocolate.
It’s like drinking a peanut butter cup. LOL.
Try this yummy, creamy smoothie soon. You will taste for yourself how luscious it is.
