I don't know about you, but there is nothing more refreshing to me than an ice cold milkshake on a hot day. I have recently discovered that I am completely obsessed with almond butter. Like crazy obsessed. I have it at least twice a day (and blame it on pregnancy cravings). Anyhow, I figured nothing could be better than drinking my favorite food in the form of a frothy, creamy, and refreshing treat! I decided to do some research, found a few versions on blogs I liked, and made a few changes. Voila- liquid perfection! Plus, it has healthy fat, fiber, and protein in it so it's totally a health food. At least that is what I tell myself ; )
