You may not know (because it’s chemically colored) that the richness you taste in red velvet cake is actually cocoa powder. To create that same depth and delight in a drinkable form, you’ll need the antioxidant powers of cacao and the whole-food wonders of chocolate-flavored Vega One. In case you were wondering, you won’t find any fake dyes in this smoothie blend. The vibrant hue comes from chopped beets and fresh strawberries – nature’s greatest food coloring!
