ALMOND JOY PROTEIN SMOOTHIE

This delectable almond joy protein smoothie is one of my FAVORITES!

It packs the all-important 1-2 punch of delicious AND nourishing!

A great healthy replacement for your ice cream or milkshake cravings, this thick, rich smoothie is filled with protein, electrolytes, potassium, and just enough healthy fats to keep your skin radiant and your belly feeling full.

Enjoy as a guilt free, well balanced dessert substitute (1 cup) or enjoy it as a full on meal replacement!

I hope you enJOY this healthy version of my favorite childhood candy!

A high power blender can easily pulverize sticky dates. If you have a “regular” blender you will want to soak the dates first. 🙂

HEALTH BENEFITS OF ALMONDS

Compared to all other nuts, almonds are the most packed with nutrients and beneficial components.

Usually eaten raw, almonds are also enjoyed sprinkled on salads, throughout casseroles, and other dishes.

Almond milk is also a delicious beverage, and a great alternative to less the nutritious cow’s milk.

    1. I’m not sure Dee! We use a music library for uncopywrited music and my video editors pick it out. I love the song too – it makes me want to dance and blend! 🙂
