Chocolate Sesame Seed Smoothie - FOOD PHOTO SHOOT
.jpg)
So It’s another beautiful week and I know we’ve all got life going on all around us so I’m keeping it short and sweet today. (I've got lots of packing to do for the travels this month ;) )I’m just popping in to share this smoothie recipe that I made this past week because it’s one any smoothie lover is going to be thrilled with. That is, of course, unless you’re one of those fruity smoothie people who think chocolate should be strictly in desserts. You’re not, right???

This smoothie is simple, fast, and only a few ingredients. It’s also gluten free, dairy free, and vegan, and you can adapt it very easily too. For example, peanut butter is a great sub for the tahini and if you want it creamier just trade out the almond milk for regular or some lite coconut cream for something really decadent!

1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
dash of sea salt (optional but so good!)
