Cut apples into little chunks. If eating the following day, soak the chunks in a bowl of salt water so they don’t brown. Drain the apples after soaking them. Slice the Snickers (and Reeses) into 6 pieces. Mix everything you’ve sliced in a bowl with the whipped cream.
PEANUT BUTTER BANANA SMOOTHIE
1 frozen banana
1 cup of milk
