Notes

Enjoy the bowl as soon as possible because the longer you wait the more it will melt. If you’d like a more solid consistency, skip the almond butter in the blending phase. I tend to enjoy this meal with an iced coffee and sometimes a hot coffee. Since I don’t add sugar to my coffee it provides a nice contrast.
