It was one of those mornings when Lauren and I both felt a bit sluggish, the kind where you wake up craving something refreshing and energizing. Lauren, ever the health enthusiast, suggested we whip up a smoothie packed with vitamin C to kickstart our day. I was all in, especially if it involved strawberries and oranges—two of my favorites.
We gathered our ingredients: frozen strawberries, a juicy orange, a splash of almond milk, a scoop of our go-to vegan protein powder, a dollop of almond butter, and a pinch of ground ginger for that extra zing. As we blended everything together, the kitchen filled with a sweet, citrusy aroma. The first sip was pure bliss—creamy, tangy, and just the right amount of sweetness. It instantly lifted our spirits and became our new morning ritual.
