Almond Joy Smoothie for the Win! 🍫🥥

Heyyy! Do you ever just crave something that tastes like dessert but is still kinda healthy? Like, I’m all about that life! LOL. So, I whipped up this Almond Joy Smoothie the other day and OMG, it’s like drinking a candy bar! Seriously, you gotta try this.

Main dish photo — *The finished dish — looks amazing, right?*

Okay, so… here’s the deal with the ingredients. You ready?

Okay, Let’s Talk Ingredients

Alright, here’s what you need for this dreamy smoothie:

– 1 cup chocolate almond milk (this is a game changer—don’t skimp!)
– 1 banana (the riper, the better, trust me)
– 1/4 cup shredded unsweetened coconut (adds that tropical vibe)
– 2 tablespoons almond butter (because we’re nutty like that)
– 1 tablespoon cocoa powder (for extra chocolatey goodness)
– 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional, but who are we kidding? More sweetness is always good)
– 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (alcohol-free, we’re keeping it chill)
– 1/2 cup ice (blend it all up!)

You can find these goodies at any grocery store. Seriously, just grab ‘em all, and you’ll be set!

So Here’s Why I Make This Constantly

Okay, story time! So, the first time I tried making this, it was a total disaster. I *thought* I had banana, but like, surprise! Only had expired avocados. 😳 It was one of those “what was I thinking?” moments. But I was determined! So I ran to the store, got my banana, and whipped this bad boy up while dancing around my kitchen because it just felt so right. And then… *first sip* — my taste buds literally threw a party. I mean, if you like Almond Joy bars (who doesn’t?), you’ll be in love! It’s become my go-to breakfast or a sweet treat when I’m feeling fancy but lazy.

Another beautiful angle of the dish — *Just as gorgeous from this angle too!*

The One Trick That Changes Everything

Okay, listen. The secret here is the chocolate almond milk. I know, I know, it sounds simple, but it makes the whole smoothie feel like a decadent dessert instead of a boring breakfast. It’s like the sneaky hero of the recipe.

Don’t Mess This Up (My Top Tips)

– Ripe bananas are your best friend. If it’s got some brown spots, that’s perfect!
– Don’t skip the almond butter. It makes it creamy! Like, no one wants a chunky smoothie, right?
– Adjust sweetness at the end. Blend first, then taste. It’s like a little surprise party for your mouth!

How to Keep Them From Disappearing (Or, How to Store Them)

So, I mean, good luck with this—seriously, it’s hard to keep it around! But if you wanna store it, just pop it in the fridge for a couple of hours. It might separate a little, so just give it a quick stir or shake before you drink it. Or, you know, just chug it down like I do. 😂

If You Liked This, You’ll Probably Like These Too
