Wholesome Chillers
This delicious recipe has been shared with us by the amazing Karla from My LaLa Life.
"My boys are very much into their flavoured milks so I wanted to make them a drink that tasted like an icy cold chocolate milkshake but nourishing without leaving them feeling bloated. These Wholesome Chillers definitely did the trick - they slurped it all up. Not only were the kids happy that they got their chocolate treat, but Mummy is too because,well lets face it, I'm always happy when my kids finish their meals and treats without complaint." - Karla
Recipe Tester Feedback: "This is better than a thick shake. Thick and creamy - chiller is a great name for it. Kids loved it - even though they sawthe dates go in. Much healthier than a flavoured milk!" - Naomi
