I promised long long time ago...I will post my protein shake. Even about week ago my 4flavours girls were asking me...When is it coming, as they would like to know the recipe ;)
Yesterday I mentioned in my Vanilla's Friday Blog, that I will post my special Something ;)
So finally , here it is.
My ultimate number one !!
Vanilla Protein shake
My protein is not " a what ever protein ". It is the best of the kind...
The Vanilla protein shake I love is vegan , it doesn't contain soya, which is great...
I use some seeds and nuts to go with it...
And Matcha Tea, of course, because it's so good for me and am so hooked on it ;D.. It is easier, just to add it to my protein , as I don't have time to drink protein and tea separately in the morning...Am in a great rush to get out of the door, as my alarm clock rings 2 times, before I am able to get out of bed...
But as soon, as I had my morning boost, I am so much better, energized driving to work.
How I make it :
The Vanilla protein,that I use, can be only made with alternative milk ( rice milk, almond milk, coconut milk, hazelnut milk... )
I get my seeds ready...Linseed , Chia seeds , Black Sesame seeds and Pumpkin seeds. A small tea spoon of each maximum, as am adding 4 different types of seeds.
I put them in my coffee grinder for a bit, so I break them and all the goodness comes out. I always do them fresh, as you get the most of the health properties for just 10 min. after you ground them. So really it is designed to be prepared in a morning rush ;)
Shake it well and if you find it too thick, you can pour a bit of water in it...
This is so quick and easy !
Sometimes I make my Vanilla protein in blender with berry's and banana. Really you can experiment with it...Add what you like.
I love chocolate protein shake of the same kind too, but now I gave up chocolate for Lent, I am not having that ;)
After Easter it will be a treat. I will also share my Chocolate protein recipe with you one day and I know, you will fall in love with it, because, it will make you feel good and you will never wan't to miss THIS wonderful start to the day again...
Next time, I will tell you more about Matcha Tea and seeds...why I think they are great !?
I hope mornings won't be a struggle anymore for anyone who reads this :D

Are you full in the morning with just one of your protein shakes? Personally I don't really believe in shakes, although my hubby really loves his protein shakes as well. But yours sounds delicious and if they are healthy it's worth trying them. And I didn't know that those seeds have to be eaten within 10 mins. I always buy milled linseed so they are probably no longer really nutritious? And that Matcha tea are you putting it in the cold milk of your shake (probably a silly question)? If you like I can send my mini flavour to stay overnight she'll wake you up early the next morning and she'll make sure you are proper awake even without any food or shake lol... Cinnamon x
ReplyDeleteHi Cinnamon.
ReplyDeleteYes, I am full and you would be too. You just need to give it a go ;) Matcha Tea is consumed whole , but I will write a bit about Matcha hopefully on Tuesday, so I will explane there exactly how to use it... I am sure your Mini Flavour would sort me out in the morning. I wish I had mi own Mini Flavour ;)
