S'mores Smoothie Recipe

S’mores is a classic summertime treat, and with summer just around the corner everyone has them on the brain, including Starbucks, who recently came out with a s'mores frappuccino.

But holy moly does that thing have some SUGAR in it!!

(from the Starbucks website http://www.starbucks.com/menu/drinks/frappuccino-blended-beverages/s-mores-frappuccino) 

This baby is guaranteed to give you a serious sugar high, which is probably fun and all, but without the back-woods hike and campfire building to go along with it, like you get with real s'mores, you probably aren't going to use all that energy and it'll likely end up somewhere you don't want...not healthy!

So instead I found you a delicious s'mores inspired smoothie recipe to try making at home, one full of protein, superfoods, deliciousness, and 10x LESS sugar. 

There’s a coffee version and a caffeine-free version, depending on your preference.

Small note, if you use any other protein besides Shakeology the nutrition won't end up being the same :)
