Açaí Berry Protein Smoothie

Dreaming I’m back in Hawaii with this Açaí Berry Protein Smoothie. Sometimes I feel like a smoothie for breakfast/lunch, because 1) I like pretending I’m somewhere tropical 2) I can throw everything in the blender and eat it to-go 3) I always feel satisfied and energized yet light after drinking a smoothie. I stumbled upon the @sambazon açaí packets in the freezer section at the grocery store, and I’m glad I followed my intuition to buy them. They make a great addition to any smoothie, last forever in the freezer, and plus the açaí berry is nutrient dense and full of antioxidants!
