Nutrition. This smoothie is rich in manganese, vitamin C, and B12 from the fortified soymilk. It is also a good source of fiber and potassium. You can add a scoop of soy or hemp protein powder to give it and extra boost of vegan protein. Add some flax seeds, chia seeds or flax oil to give it a boost of healthy omega fatty acids!

Directions:
1. Add the soymilk, frozen fruit, maple syrup, cider vinegar, ice and sea salt to blender. Blend until chunky-smooth.

2. Add in the fresh banana. Blend until smooth.

3. Lastly, add in the fresh strawberries and pulse blend for a few more rounds - you don't want to mush up the berries though.

Serve, garnish with fresh fruit!

Optional: I like to add a pinch of spirulina powder or hemp oil to my AM smoothies. Some raw coconut or raw cashews would also be a nice add-in to give the smoothie a bit more body if you crave it.

Happy Banana Berry Day!
