It's winter and 20 F outside so I'm thinking about foods that keep me warm. I love drinking a green smoothie in the morning so I made one which offers warmth. This recipe was inspired by my friend Pilyeo Han who makes Kabocha squash smoothies for breakfast.
It's a savory smoothie which heats you up and, with 21 grams of protein and 31 grams of healthy carbohydrates, provides the energy needed to keep moving during the cold weather.
