We are proud to share another recipe from Sweetness Without Sugar, courtesy of author Wendy Vigdor-Hess, RD. Enjoy!
Shake Awake
1 cup unsweetened dairy-free, gluten-free milk (e.g. hemp, rice, almond, coconut)
1 scoop Sun Warrior Protein® Chocolate or Natural
1-2 Tbsp flax oil
1 packet Amazing Grass® wheatgrass
3 pitted dates
Liquid stevia to taste
Optional: Maca powder for a “malty” taste or a dash of cinnamon or a hint of ginger. This shake works well with added fruit too such as ½ frozen banana or ½ cup berries. In the colder months our bodies may prefer warmer foods, leaving the frozen choices for summer. Use your body as a guide and see what works for you and your family.

Blend ingredients together for a delightful pick me up. If it is too thick for you, add some filtered water.
Adding greens to smoothies is a great way to get extra phytonutrients.
