This Father’s Day, show your favorite dad what he means to you with this delicious and health-conscious Chocolate Almond Butter Protein Smoothie. For this recipe, we froze some coconut milk beforehand to take place of the ice we would use when blending to keep from watering down the yummy chocolate and almond components. (Freezing the banana ahead of time helps accomplish the same goal, but if you don’t have time to pre-plan for those details, don’t sweat it.)
