CREAMY CHOCOLATE
MOCHA SHAKE
This shake is as creamy as it is delicious. A staple in our house when I need to get out the door but don’t have time to have breakfast and have a coffee. This combines both! The protein from the Greek yogurt and the nuts gives this shake staying power. The healthy fats will also keep you satisfied longer.
