Vanilla Smoothie

I changed up my morning routine slightly...having a bowl of fresh fruit in the mornings since such a delicious selection of fruit locally now that the days are warmer. Then following up with this vanilla smoothie that tastes similar to...wait for it...cake batter! You can thank me later:)

Vanilla Smoothie

Serves 1

Blend in a high-speed blender until smooth:

2 cups water

1 serving vegan vanilla protein powder (I used Garden of Life Protein Powder)

1/2 small frozen banana

2 heaping tablespoons almond butter

1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground flax seeds

a few ice cubes

A handful of raw organic spinach is also wonderful in this smoothie, you just won’t get that pretty vanilla color.
