Raw Vegan Cookies N' Cream Smoothie

Want to enjoy the sweet flavour of cookies n' cream while not remaining guilty after eating an entire ice cream container full? Why not try this cookies n' cream smoothie? The flavour tastes exactly like the "real thing" and in addition, it is full of body-enhancing vitamins and minerals and can even help you LOSE excess weight!
