Why You Should Give It a Try?
I confess it will not be the same as Smoothie King’s custom flavor for vegan dark chocolate because SK has its own custom SOPs for making any recipe and even its environments for producing a recipe.
If you give it a try, you will not lose your money, at least you are consuming the ingredients in that will ultimately provide good nutrition to your body.
There is no harm in trying this smoothie idea inspired by the SK’s recipe, as all the ingredients i have chosen for making this recipe are perfectly balanced in their macronutrients which are perfectly fien for your overall health.
In my experience eth best-suited time for having this smoothie is before 2-3 hours of an intense cardio workout.
