Violet, You're Turning Violet!

I love this smoothie. I adapted it from Whole Foods' Almond Berry Cream Smoothie, all I've done is added some all natural vegan protein powder. Why did I rename it? Because I saw the all natural ingredients they put into it (Unsweetened Almond Milk, Bananas, Blueberries, and Freshly Ground Almond Butter) and it came out bright purple. I'm talking a deep, deep violet. So when I drank it, my mouth literally turned violet, and it reminded me of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. You know, the scene where she ate the gum and turned into a blueberry. I made one later that week at home, and I didn't add as much blueberries, plus I added protein powder, so it didn't turn a deep shade of violet, but violet nonetheless

1 banana
2 scoops of Jarrow Optimal Plant Protein Powder
1/2 cup blueberries (add more if you want a darker shade of purple, or a stronger blueberry taste)
1 tablespoon freshly ground almond butter
1/2 cup-3/4 cup of Blue Diamond Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Breeze

Blend! I add the protiein powder for a post-workout shake, but if I'm just having it as a snack, I'll usually leave the protein powder out
