Chocolate Almond-Java Smoothie

Monday mornings, what a drag... or as my mother would say, "it's the pit's".


Sunday's are absolutely my favorite day of the week but they are always bitter sweet because Monday always brings back the work week and responsibilities.... DRAG! 

 It's been a while since I've shared one of my fabulous breakfast or snack time smoothies so I figure with all the rain we had yesterday and the dreaded work week ahead, I thought this was a perfect morning for a coffee and rich chocolate smoothie combination.


The bf loooooves his Dark Chocolate Almond Milk so I decided to steal a bit for breakfast.

 Recently I have been having a cup of coffee every morning. Paul makes up a fresh cup and we both head off to work with our mugs. I wasn't a huge coffee drinking but lately the smell of a fresh cup of coffee wakes me up and starts my day off right. So I started thinking, why not put coffee in my smoothie?


Everyone knows that chocolate and coffee are the perfect combination and who wouldn't want chocolate for breakfast... I DO.

I get my morning coffee all blended up with fresh fruit, heart healthy, non-dairy milk and protein-packed almonds for a filling and delicious breakfast. Monday's aren't going to cramp my tastebuds.


Chocolate and coffee... it's perfect.
