Red Velvet Smoothie
The star of this smoothie is the combo of beets and protein powder. Beets provide a vibrant red colour and subtle, earthy flavour. Beets are also loaded with antioxidants and are believed to support cardiovascular health and a healthy inflammatory response. And the protein powder? That delivers cakey fun flavour plus 20 g of plant-based protein.
