Smoothie Bowl
4oz Trader Joe’s carrot turmeric juice
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
1/2 frozen banana
140g frozen mango
1 tbsp ground flax seeds
1 tbsp ground pumpkin seeds
You can change up the ingredients anyway you want! The above concoction tasted like a nutty creamsicle. I’ve also used banana, peanut butter powder, and chocolate protein powder, and it tastes like chocolate peanut butter ice cream.
I love to make these when I’m craving something sweet! ☺️
