ok, but i couldn't not start the new year off with something a little healthy (especially after the endless holiday cookies + chocolates) & this smoothie will do the trick! it includes cold busting ingredients like citrus & ginger, plus it is loaded with protein as it includes bob's red mill's new almond protein powder.
the protein powder is gluten free & made with one ingredient.. almonds! it is perfect for smoothies, but can also be added to sauces & baked goods. the beets give this smoothie the most beautiful pink hue. for extra creaminess i used kefir, but if looking for a vegan option try coconut kefir or coconut milk!
cheers to a safe & healthy 20201 :)
