We’re celebrating Chocolate Milkshake Day today! With our healthy diabetic friendly version of course.
That’s right…just because you’re diabetic, does not mean you can’t enjoy a sensational chocolate milkshake. To say this milkshake is awesome is an under statement!
It’s creamy, sweet, filling, and delicious. You really wouldn’t know that it’s a much healthier version of such a ‘naughty’ treat because it tastes just as naughty – but it’s entirely sugar free.
I’ve recently discovered chocolate flavored stevia extract. It’s chocolate flavor is so rich and really makes things taste chocolate without adding chocolate – it even fooled my partner into enjoying this milkshake!
He was also surprised to learn that the milkshake contained avocado.
Avocado is not something you’d typically think of putting in a milkshake but this is what gives it the smooth, creamy texture, and fills it with healthy fats to fuel your afternoon – well, that’s if you were to have it for an afternoon treat.
