Sometimes we can be a little healthier and use natural sugar. Not often. But sometimes. This is one of those times and with a perfect recipe to make delicious chocolate shakes!

We make this shake almost daily. It’s a perfect mid-morning pick-me-up. The adult additions are optional, but HIGHLY recommended. I run on caffeine. That may not sound healthy, but this is a no judgement zone.

We typically eyeball the ingredients and add them straight to the blender to save on dishes. Feel free to change up the ingredients to your liking. Maybe more chocolate, less honey, more almond butter, less almond milk. Watch this video to see how we make it.

Ingredients to Prepare:

• 1/4 C Cacao Powder (or cocoa powder or chocolate syrup)
