What a guiltless treat! Almond Joy was one of my favorite chocolates to eat when I was growing up. Now I can enjoy it again with this super healthy version that’s great for an everyday something sweet! Thank you Juice Plus+!
If you are doing the Shred10, this can be a great snack option.
It tastes so much like the original, but this is something I wouldn't mind my kids eating everyday. How can something that tastes so good, be good for you? Try it and you'll see what I mean!
