Apple Chocolate Smoothie

Soak almonds in warm water for 15 minutes. Drain, peel and chop into pieces.

Wash the apples well. Scrub and wash to clean wax off the skin. Core the apples and cut into bite size pieces.

Add the apples, 2 cups milk, chopped almonds and chocolate chips to a blender. Blend until smooth. Add the remaining milk and blend until frothy. Serve Immediately.

Note: I never peel the apples, since most of the nutrients lie right below the skin. It also gives a nice texture to the smoothie. If you or your kids don’t prefer that crunch in the drink, peel the apples.
