Blue Green Protein Smoothie

Blue Green Protein Smoothie

2 scoops Sunwarrior Vanilla Protein Powder

1 tbs Vitamineral Green

1 tbs maca

12 oz hemp milk (water, or almond milk)

1/4 cup blueberries

handful of ice cubes

Blend and enjoy! 

Sunwarrior is my favorite vegan protein powder that I have tried so far.  It blows hemp protein away.  I also love Vitamineral Green for  an overall nutritional addition.
