What’s In This Plant Based Recovery Smoothie?

Protein Powder: we are huge fans of Vega Chocoalte Sport protein which is derived totally from plants and is super delicious. I like that this protein powder isn’t TOO sweet or taste artificial at all.
Banana: we use fresh banana or have been using this organic banana powder lately since we aren’t getting many grocery deliveries thanks to COVID.
Dark Cherries: I stock up on these frozen cherries every time we get a Whole Foods order in.
Water: or you can use almond milk for a little extra protein and creaminess
Walnuts: the secret to this amazing smoothie! I stocked up on a few bags of these Amazon walnuts here, and they are great to throw a handful into drinks or muffins.
