SPRING-CLEANING SMOOTHIE
| Now that April has arrived I’d say a little spring cleaning is in order. I’ve created this yummy smoothie to scrub you from the inside out. Don’t let the green color scare you off – it’s a combination of hemp protein powder and spirulina powder. Spirulina is blue-green algae bursting with protein, essential fatty acids, vitamins B, C, D, E, and minerals. Drink up to clean up! |
