Now here’s a real delight I came across the other day… Its from Lee Hersh fitfoodiefinds.com who not only provides a delicious healthy recipe, but also a beautiful 2-layer presentation! A talented food artist!
It’s dairy-free, hence vegan-friendly as well as including nutritious greens. But the peanut butter cup flavor will take you somewhere else entirely! And the silky smoothness of almond milk make this a fantastic oral delight!
As Lee says herself…
This peanut butter cup smoothie is packed with protein and even has a full serving of greens in it. Best part is, it’s healthy and tastes exactly like a peanut butter cup!
I actually made two different smoothie recipes and swirled them together to make sure you get some chocolate and peanut butter in every bite. Then I topped it with some vegan coconut whipped cream and an actual chunk of peanut butter cup.

* Lee recommends Silk almond Milk:
I love the addition of Silk Almond Milk to smoothie because it keeps things dairy free and makes them OOBER smooth. I usually buy the unsweetened variation because it goes perfectly with my banana-base smoothies.
