Growing up, Almond Joy was my candy bar, not just because of its name (although it was always fun to see “Joy” on the wrapper), but because it provided the perfect combination of sweet, crunch, and chocolatey goodness.

In honor of this special treat, I created an almost too-good-for-breakfast bowl infused with all the nostalgia of the bar, along with wholesome, energizing, and healthy ingredients with a whopping 9 g of protein and 11 g of fiber. Trust me, this is pure JOY.

  • 2-3 teaspoons melty almond butter
  • 1 tablespoon chopped almonds
  • 1 tablespoon shredded coconut
  • 1 tablespoon semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Process all smoothie bowl ingredients in a blender until just thick and creamy (don’t blend too long or it’ll become too thin). If it’s too thick to blend, add a small splash of milk.
