A Healthy Dessert

A "chocolate" smoothie. It's delicious. It's creamy. It tastes like ice cream.  It's HEALTHY! And, it's 100% approved by a little boy who became obsessed with ice cream over the summer. He even said, "Mommy, it tastes like ice cream!".


Here are the 4 simple ingredients:


1 Frozen banana (must be frozen to get the creamy affect!)
1 spoonful each of almond butter and peanut butter (or 2 spoonfuls of 1)
Enough milk of your choice to make it drinkable (I use almond milk)
1 spoonful of carob powder (like cocoa powder but naturally sweet, thus eliminating the need for added sugars!)
Blend and serve. YUM! 


You could also sneak in more healthy stuff like some chopped spinach or avocado, but because Kai usually gets at least one "green" smoothie a day, too; for us, this one is purely dessert!
