5 Cold-Weather Smoothies You’ll Love
1. Butternut Squash Smoothie
Bet you never thought about sipping on the popular, antioxidant-rich squash. Well, it totally works, especially with vanilla protein and cinnamon.
2. Apple Spice Smoothie
Imagine apple pie was actually really good for your health and you could drink it. You’re welcome.
3. Hot Chocolate Smoothie
Spicy hot chocolate is a must-have on days that make you shiver, and you can savor the same flavors via your Vitamix.
4. Broccoli Rabe Almond Butter Smoothie
Hearty greens paired with hearty grains paired with thick, creamy nut butter and dates.
