Super easy vanilla latte smoothie recipe!

It’s daylight savings time in parts of the world, and I’m going to be feeling the effects of the lost hour for days! I am hoping the vanilla latte smoothie recipe can help. I don’t sleep a lot; I mention it often. Caffeine gets me going most mornings. This morning, I decided to combine my need for caffeine and food into one smoothie (it can be made with decaf too).

Some health benefits of the ingredients in this smoothie include boosted immunity, and improved heart and digestive health. Have a wonderful day and weekend!!

This gluten-free, vegan vanilla latte smoothie recipe is a winner!
