Want a skinny “frosty style” breakfast shake that tastes rich, creamy, decadent and healthy? If you love chocolate, almond butter, banana, then I think we like the same things. We are connecting! Yay!
I have been making a lot of smoothies and shakes lately, because of workouts and meal replacements and this shake is F-I-N-E Fine!
It’s filling, decadently delicious, but low in calories. And this “particular” shake is really, really good for you. **BONUS** 🙂
Hey! It’s dairy free and gluten-free too! 🙂 You can change it up with peanut butter, cashew butter or which ever ‘nut butter’ tickles your fancy. (You know…that sounds kinda funny, but ‘it is what is is’, right? LOL
For some other options, you could add in some frozen berries, flax or chia seeds for some extra anti-oxidants or add in a scoop of your favorite protein powder, Greek yogurt or some oatmeal for an extra punch of protein.

June 19, 2016 at 3:44 amI have just about begun my journey to detoxing, eating, living clean. I plan to make this yummy shake and take it to work in my sweet little mason jar glass that I carry my green tea in otherwise. But if i make this in the morning and consume it some 2-3 hours later as my mid morning or afternoon snack, would it still be as healthy and nutritious? (considering that you mentioned – consume immediately..)
Thanks for the recipe though..I am eager to try this out.
