One of my favorite things in the morning is to go for a long run or have an intense work out. But I was never hungry after and needed to supply my body with protein and nutrients. So I decided to start making my own protein shakes with a variety of fruits and vegetables, different types of fruit juice and, of course, a great protein powder. So I went in search of a protein powder that was beneficial for all different types of needs. And, finally, I found one! The company is called Vega and it is a vegan, gluten free protein powder that includes plant-based whole foods that are the true future of optimal health. Included are raw, alkalinizing foods that are the best defense against illness and disease. I started buying the berry flavor powder and every morning I would add a scoop to assorted frozen fruits and juices and I would be energized for the day.
In all of my smoothies I add foods that are skin-healthy antioxidants, ones that combat heart disease and cancer and fight premature aging. Here are some ideas for great, healthy smoothies!
Add about a cup of frozen fruit: Blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, peaches, or a mixture of these to your blender. Add a banana, one scoop of Vega protein powder, and about a cup or two of fruit juice, orange juice, apple juice, or pomegranate juice. Mix it altogether and you have one great post workout/ breakfast meal. Enjoy!
