Chocolate Avocado Banana Almondmilk Shake

I'm not gunna lie, this is totally lunch today. Most of you know I love sweets. Some of my earlier posts have discussed the advantages and disadvantages of Paleo sweets (disadvantage= high calorie, advantage= really delicious and curbs cravings). When I first went paleo, I ate a completely paleo diet expect for cookies. Then I replaced those with paleo baked goods. Then I tried to cut out paleo baked goods too, except I just went back to cookies. Soooo. Here I am drinking this chocolate paleo shake for lunch and fully intend to make sweet potato brownies later. I try to pace myself, limit my portions, and more importantly I try not to stress. Life is too short not to eat chocolate.

Oh, also. This isn't my recipe.  I found this on Meaningful Eats (http://blog.meaningfuleats.com/). Her recipes aren't all paleo but they are all gluten free. Most can be modified to fit into the paleo framework if you're hardcore.
