It’s no secret that I have a bit of a sweet tooth (one peek at my recipe archives and I’m certain you’ll agree). Come three o’clock most afternoons, I usually find myself craving something chocolatey. And now that I’m getting older, I find it more difficult to justify a daily sugary-treat – both for my waistline and my health’s sake. More often than not, this afternoon snack proves to tide me over. But for those days that I need a little something more, this healthy chocolate peanut butter smoothie is JUST the ticket! Seriously – it’s freaking good.
