Morning strong. ~ 18 grams of protein, but who's counting?
This delicious morning shake delivers the best of both worlds – especially if you’re a coffee addict, serving your morning fix while providing a fair share of protein at the start of your day.
New to vegan protein powders?
If you’re new to using vegan protein powders or looking to try something new, you may want to consider picking up a container of this version from Natural Factors. I stopped using protein powders for a while because I found the flavour too sweet after trying a few brands and stuck to incorporating complete proteins in my meal. I then found this version at Healthy Planet about six months ago and haven’t used anything else since. It serves a high amount of protein, it’s gluten-free and lends itself to shakes, protein pancakes and my morning oats. Though I haven’t tried the chocolate flavour I still 100% recommend trying this brand – it’s definitely good quality and worth the price.
The process
This shake takes very little effort to prepare if you’ve got your cold coffee made in advance. Watch my TikTok to see the process.
