Smooth, creamy and delicious this healthy salted caramel smoothie is like a dessert and a breakfast all in one! Vegan, Dairy Free, Paleo and Refined Sugar Free.
This smoothie is somewhere between a dessert (think salted caramel icecream) or a decadent drink or breakfast.. yet it is full of healthy ingredients and contains no refined sugar.
If you are like me and a big fan of all things salted caramel (what’s not to love really?) then I think you will enjoy this creamy drink.
This smoothie is the bomb as it is filling, delicious and creamy……it is full of goodness with the addition of nutritious tahini and naturally sweetened with mineral rich dates.
