Vegan Mofo: Berry Green Morning Smoothie- Two Ways!

Doesn’t the transition from Summer to Fall always feel like the most hectic time of the year? Today we’re going to keep things simple with one delicious smoothie- two ways. I made this Berry Green Morning Smoothie for myself and my boyfriend earlier this week, topping his with almonds, strawberry and peanut butter (he wanted protein) and mine with blueberries and dried coconut (I wanted something sweet).

This smoothie is packed with antioxidants, protein, Vitamin A, iron and fiber so it will help you power through those hectic days!
