Mmmmm my absolute favourite breakfast any day of the week. Actually…I would eat this for breakfast, lunch and dinner if I could.
This recipe is based on the Oh She Glows Milli Vanilli Green Monster that I made into a breakfast bowl. I haven’t tried all of her variations of green monsters yet, but so far this is my favourite. The key to the yummy almondie-goodness is the almond extract! Don’t skip that out ;)
