Cacao & Almond Butter Shake
Friends! It has been a hot minute since I updated this site, but I have been working on some amazing recipes in the mean time. Here’s a quick and easy shake I make almost daily, especially since I have very short lunches on my WFH schedule.
Chocolate and peanut butter is one of my favorite flavor combos, but I have intentionally cut out nearly all forms of sugar in my diet. In addition, studies show that peanut butter and peanuts are not great for those of us with food sensitivities, as they have a high susceptibility to mold. This shake is my favorite replacement for the chocolate and peanut butter combo, and it’s super healthy, too! Hemp seed powder and chia seeds are both sources of plant-based protein, and they help to keep me full until my next meal.
