Healthy, vegan and totally delicious with a superfood boost of plant protein - meet your new favourite protein shake.
Why do we use frozen strawberries? 🍓
We love using frozen fruit in blended shakes and smoothie recipes.
Not only is frozen fruit usually cheaper to buy than fresh, but you can also freeze any fruit you have which is a little past its best.
That way you can lock in its goodness, prevent food waste and give your fruit a new lease of life using it in a recipe such as this one.
Once frozen, fruit will last in the freezer for at least 6 months. When ready to use, simply add to your blender still frozen for a boost of nutrition and to create a cool and refreshing shake.
Cacao Plant Protein 🌱
Cacao Plant Protein is a blend of Organic pea, hemp and pumpkin seed protein powders.
This combination of three proteins contains all the essential amino acids, providing a complete source of protein.
Not only is this best for optimal post-workout recovery, but it is also great for boosting protein intake for vegetarians and vegans - as compete protein is hard to come by with a plant-based diet.
We add raw Peruvian Cacao, Maca Root and Cordyceps Mushroom extract to our Cacao Plant Protein. Each of these superfoods was chosen for its energising and health boosting properties.
So, you can sip away knowing that this protein smoothie really is as good for you as it tastes. Here's the recipe!
