Breakfast for Champions!

Hey Lovelies!


So, I recently started drinking raw vegan protein shakes with Sun Warrior raw vegan protein (chocolate flavor) (https://www.sunwarrior.com/) and totally fell in love with them!

This protein is perfect as a pre-workout, as well as a post-workout drink, so you can reap the benefits no matter what time of day your workout is. For example, during the working days, I drink it as post-workout because I workout too early and don't have the time to drink it and wait for some time before my workout. When I'm not working, I drink it as pre-workout and here's what happens:


The coolest thing is that you don't crash when it "wears off" because the ingredients are all natural and it doesn't really wear off; this is obviously a huge benefit compared to supplements with mainly lab-derived nutrients.

Anyways, after trying it a couple of times as kind of a hot chocolate, blended with almond milk, I decided it was time for spicing it up a bit. Thus the protein breakfast smoothie was born! And nooow... *drumroll*

THE RECIPE

BASE:
2 cups of water and 2 table spoons of yoghurt
OR
2 cups of your favorite plant/nut milk (I personally like almond milk and rice with coconut)

FRUIT:
1 ripe banana
1 handful of fresh or frozen strawberries, whichever is available (NOTE: If you use frozen strawberries, make sure your blender can crush ice, otherwise the blades might be damaged)

SEEDS:
Flax seed and sesame seed - 1 tb. spoon of each
2 tb. spoons chia seed
1 handful of raw cacao beans
1 SCOOP of your favorite protein powder.
Put it all in the blender and voila! You have a super tasty, healthy breakfast, packed with nutrients which will give you a nitro-boost for the day! 

This smoothie also has few calories and will satisfy your hunger for hours, so it is perfect for weight loss.

Enjoy your day and stay strong :)

With Love,
Your Tomato Monster
