Healthy Almond Joy Milkshake
Healthy Almond Joy Milkshake — thick, creamy, and packed with almond and coconut flavor! Oh, and it’s topped with a little chocolate, of course, for good measure 😉
This milkshake is sweet without the added sugar… no need for the ice creams and syrups here.
And the best part? It’s tooootally healthy enough for breakfast. Or lunch or snacks or desserts. And DARE I SAY DINNER?? 😉
It’s got healthy fats, complete proteins, fiber, and none of the added sugar or high-fructose corn syrup. This candy bar-inspired milkshake will keep you full and satisfied, you won’t even crave that sugary-crapola-in-a-wrapper after this!
