Oh boy! I This was my breakfast today! It’s also a fantastic 1-minute snack anytime. Blackberries are refreshing and loaded with anti-oxidant compounds. Protein powder gave this treat the holding power of a full meal. It was already such a GORGEOUS COLOR, that I enhanced it with beet! Beets are a unique source of betaine, an amazing anti-inflammatory ingredient to vitalize blood circulation and protect against cancer, and vitalize your sensual life!. Anyway WOW! It was delicious! If you use one of the zero-carb sweetener options, you’ll give your blood sugar a break as well. I restrained myself today and didn’t do the Dark Chocolate Variation below. Next time I’ll go all the way… Serves 1.
