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.
