Milkshake...for breakfast? Yes please! I have a pretty large sweet tooth, but I try to minimize my sugar intake to keep my blood sugar as stable as possible (total must for PCOS management). I also cut my sugar intake to almost 0 while doing a candida cleanse this spring...but I was still searching for something that could satisfy my desire to indulge, while staying on track with my health goals. Let me tell you, this chocolate breakfast milkshake is IT!
This shake has all of the wholesome ingredients you'd find in a smoothie, but tastes rich and, dare I say, creamy, like a milkshake! You're going to get fiber from the hidden veggies (can't taste the cauliflower at all, I promise!), good fats from the nut butter and ghee, and protein from the hemp seeds. All in all, it's an extremely balanced breakfast that won't spike your blood sugar, but will leave you feeling totally satisfied. Without further ado...
Edit: I have removed stevia from my diet since this was originally published. If you'd like to keep this recipe stevia-free, I recommend subbing it with 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey, or leaving the sweetener out all together.
