Tasty Tuesday {Healthy Chocolate Peanut Butter Green Morning Shake}

You guyyyyyysssssssss!!

I have a Tasty Tuesday for you!  How long has it been?  Over a year?  I don't even know, but I'm super excited about this one.

I mentioned that I have been despising greens during this pregnancy and that my usual green smoothies or even salads just weren't cutting it - but I found a loophole!  I found a way to consume some greens each day and LOVE it.  I mean looooooove it.

Just add chocolate and peanut butter.  DUH.  How did I not think of this before?  I need more protein in my diet and I can always use more chocolate (am I right, ladies?).  My cousin introduced me to the healthy way to have your daily fix of chocolate.

Friends, meet cacao nibs.

Cacao nibs, meet my friends.

Friends, cacao nibs are a SUPERFOOD.  Meaning, chocolate can be a superfood.  Winning!  (You can read all about them here).  They are totally bitter and do not taste good to munch on raw in my opinion (which is great for me, so I can leave the jar by my blender and not be tempted to snack on them), but they sure do taste delicious in the right smoothie or shake!  I bought them on Amazon, but you can also find them at local health stores.

Fellow chocolate (and peanut butter) lovers: this is for YOU.

My only regret is not being able to come up with a shorter name that gives it justice.  Geeeeeeez.
