This is an awesome smoothie! Simply packed with nutrition. I do a lot of green smoothies myself so I’m excited to try a red smoothie!

  Definitely give it a try! I also know of a lot of people who put a T or so of cocoa powder to make a “Red Velvet” flavor (I personally don’t like chocolate too much so haven’t tried it)
