  • 1 (28-oz) can crushed tomatoes, drained of excess liquid
  • 5 Tbsp salt (+ more, to taste)
  • 2 Tbsp granulated monk fruit sweetener
  • 3 Tbsp Calabrian chili paste (or 1 Tbsp chili flakes – add more or less depending on spice preference)
  • Optional: 3 Tbsp vodka*

  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/2 cup (2 scoops) 20/20 Plant-Based FIBER/PROTEIN Powder
