You know what, I have always loved the taste and texture of red velvet cake. Obviously I’m referring back to the days where gluten and eggs were a part of my diet. I don’t miss feeling sick all the time, but I have to admit that I do miss little things like red velvet cake, scrambled eggs and sourdough bread.
Anyways, enough of my soliloquy. I wanted to create a protein packed smoothie that resembled red velvet, along with nutrient dense foods.
Yup, I did it! Cashew butter, dark cherries, vanilla and cocoa powder makes the perfect combo for a red velvet tasting anything. I also add in my favorite chocolate protein powder of choice, if I’d like to make this smoothie more of a breakfast as opposed to a dessert. Plop in all those ingredients and blend away. If you want a thicker consistency, I suggest using frozen fruit, and a tad less milk although this really depends on what you like.
As always, let me know what you think, any suggestions, kind criticism or just enthusiasm! Hit me up here in the comments, email or on Instagram!
