Chocolate Milkshake

A decadent treat for breakfast or any time of day that you crave chocolate. It’s low carb, full of protein, an ohhh sooo creamy! This was originally concocted for a dear friend going through cancer treatments with lots of nausea. She is healthy today, thank God, and still loves her chocolate shakes. I think you will enjoy this sweet chocolate treat as well.
