Looks and tastes like indulgence, but this salted caramel pretzel oatmeal cookie smoothie is like an undercover agent for healthy. Secretly packed with protein, you’ll be satisfied and full!

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Silk. The opinions and text are all mine.

I love when I create food that looks mouthwateringly decadent but is actually filled with healthy parts. 3 powerhouse ingredients that stack up to the traditional cholesterol filled breakfast foods, plus the added benefit of no refined sugar. But don’t worry, no bananas were harmed in the making of this smoothie.

When Silk came asking me to be part of a recipe creation challenge, I practically jumped out of my seat, raised my hand and yelled “Pick me! Pick me!” Smoothie hacks, all food hacks really, are one of my favorite areas of this world we call blogging. This is so up my ally. And of course I already had an idea in my brain…
