- ¼ cup frozen raspberries
- 2 scoops Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides optional
- 1 tablespoon nut butter I like almond.
- 1 tablespoon hemp or chia seeds or a combination of seeds
- ¼-½ teaspoon ground cinnamon I use ½, but I love cinnamon.
- Good pinch of ground ginger or a small ½-inch piece of fresh ginger
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Small squeeze of fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients to a blender.
- Blend until smooth. (Duh.)
Notes
Feel free to play with the quantities of cinnamon, ginger, and vanilla to fine your sweet spot (these are just good middle of the road quantities). And you can use any protein powder you like, but be aware that flavored powders with significantly affect the taste.
