You’ll quickly notice a theme with my smoothies, and that they are all remakes of really decadent desserts. I have a sweet tooth that just won’t quit so I found a loophole to satisfy those cravings without feeling terrible immediately afterwards, both physically and mentally. I find this one reminds me of brownie batter right from the bowl.
