Apple Cinnamon Almond Butter "Milkshake"

It's 9 pm at night... and the cravings are setting in. It's usually right around this time that I find myself having a desperate and unshakeable fixation on something sweet, creamy, and terrible for you. I'm talking about ice cream. Sometimes you just need ice cream. And that's really ok. So, with strong determination I set out to create a concoction (based on what was in my fridge) that could satisfy my needs without undoing my whole diet for the day. 

I was elated to discover that not only did I fill my ice cream void without cheating on my diet, but I also came up with something so tasty that I now have cravings for this sweet treat rather than ice cream.

Here are the ingredients for my "milkshake" with approximate measurements (play with ratio to find the right consistency for your taste):

~ 1 cup of Almond Milk (the unsweetened 35 calories per serving kind)
~ 1/2 cup Unsweetened Apple Sauce
~ 1 1/2 tbsp of Unsweetened Almond Butter
~ Agave Nectar to taste preference (Can use sugar substitute for less calories but I prefer the natural non-cancer causing stuff.)
~ A couple tsp of cinnamon (base on preference... I say the more the merrier!)
~Ice (Use enough to thicken mixture to consistency of your choice)

Blend until smooth. I use a Magic Bullet and it works like a charm for a single serving size. Depending on the amount/type of sweetener you use this "milkshake" adds up to about 250 calories. But don't sweat it, the majority of those calories are coming from the almond butter, which is one type of good fats you can give your body. This snack is also delicious as a protein shake for breakfast!
