Sweet Tarts Smoothie

Sweet Tarts Smoothie

It's been a long time since I had candy, but from what I remember, SweetTarts had a slightly sour and sweet flavor that I used to love.  I didn't set out to recreate that flavor, but this morning, it sorta happened by accident.  I did my usual "throw whatever I have available into the blender" routine, and when I took a sip, I thought "this is very familiar...".  After a few sips, it clicked.  It reminded me of those little candies I ate as a kid (and adult, who are we kidding?).  I thought I should probably share the recipe in case any of my readers crave sour-sweet snacks that aren't so healthy.  

"SweetTarts" Smoothie

1 cup chopped celery

2 frozen bananas

1 cup frozen pineapple

1/2 cup raspberries

2 dates

1/2 tsp almond extract

1 scoop vegan protein (I used PlantHead vanilla raw vegan protein.)

Just blend all ingredients together until smooth and enjoy.  I topped mine with shredded coconut and cacao nibs for a little crunch, but that's totally optional.
