Craving something sweet? If you’re done indulging yourself and are looking for a healthy alternative, I have just the thing for you. I made this smoothie up because I wanted to treat myself and guess what it worked. Luckily I had some dark chocolate laying around because it made my smoothie awesome.

I included amazing-for-you ingredients:
Spinach for sure because I try to get dark leafy greens into my body as often as possible to help me feel vibrant & youthful. Cinnamon reminds me of the holiday season and is one of my favorite spices. Dark chocolate in moderation has great health benefits too. Yay for antioxidants and endorphins!
