I whip up this smoothie very, very often in my trusty Nutribullet, so I thought I’d share the recipe with you this morning. It’s a great, anytime smoothie with lots of nutrients, vitamins, fiber and protein. Balanced, Creamy and Sweet with just 232 calories.
I used SunWarrior’s Warrior Blend Vanilla Protein Powder. I love it because it’s vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free and soy-free. With no added sugar, artificial flavors or artificial sweeteners, it’s a great choice for those who want a more natural protein powder.
