Chunky Monkey Superfood Smoothie
Ready for a snack chock silly with super foods that tastes like Ben and Jerry’s Chunky Monkey ice cream…
No you can have your cake and eat it too….well smoothie not cake but you get the idea. The only prep for this is that you will need to chop up some bananas and stash them in the freezer. The frozen bananas, cacao, & nut butter blend together so that this smoothie tastes like a frozen reeses cup but without all the added sugar and nasties. Amazing.
Make this the next time you are craving sweets and don’t forget to put a pinch of sea salt in your smoothies to provide some necessary minerals and to really make the flavor pop!
