Apple Chocolate Smoothie

Directions

1. 1
   Soak almonds in warm water for 15 minutes. Drain, peel and chop into pieces.
2. 2
   Wash the apples well. Scrub and wash to clean wax off the skin. Core the apples and cut into bite size pieces.
3. 3
   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.
4. 4
   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.
