Some days I'm just too busy or lazy or simply just not hungry enough to make snacks and meals. My go to is a smoothie in the afternoon. I use to do smoothies for breakfast but I like more sustenance in the morning, but a smoothie in the afternoon when all I want is treats and sweets works for me.
Mostly because I've figured out how to make my smoothies taste like decadent treats. Right now I'm in love with my oatmeal cookie smoothie. And yes it tastes just like an oatmeal cookie - plus hits the spot to squash my cravings.
Recipe:
1 banana
400-500ml of almond milk
2-3 tbsp of almond butter
2 scoops of vanilla protein powder
2 tsp of cinnamon
1 tsp of nutmeg
Blend and serve
A note on protein powder: I've tried all brands. I've tried the hyped up celebrity brands, the grocery store specials and Arbonne. Arbonne wins every single time. It tastes delicious, is packed with nutrients, the low sugar option is amazing, and it blends so well you do NOT have any powdery taste. My kids will only use the Arbonne powder.Â
