Super antioxidant vegan smoothie!

I was inspired to make this protein smoothie creation when I woke up this morning with a slight sore throat and thought I need to nip this illness in the bud!

This protein smoothie is super charged with antioxidants from the anthocyanins in the berries as well as vitamin K, vitamin C, calcium and fiber in the spinach this smoothie really helped me to feel better during the day!

• 1 cup mixed frozen berries
• 1 heaping scoop of vanilla protein powder (I used rainbow light vegan rice protein)

1. Blend all ingredients and add additional almond milk if necessary.
