I am not a protein smoothie, drink my breakfast kind of girl. That is, unless that meal I'm drinking is coffee with some sort of non-dairy milk (and occasionally some cinnamon.) I much prefer avocado toast or even seaweed salad from Juice Press. I know, an odd choice to start the day but it's true.
A couple of weeks ago, shortly after the new year began and resolutions were in peak season, a friend of mine told me about the Clean Program.
Clean daily shakes can be used alone or part of a larger diet plan. At only 80 calories per serving, 2 grams of fat, and 12 grams of protein, I felt compelled to give this vegan, gluten-free option a chance. I placed an order and, while skeptical, hoped for the best.This morning I mixed 8 ounces of almond milk and a large tablespoon of natural chunky peanut butter into my Nutribullet with one of the clean chocolate packets. I liked it! I liked it so much that I even purchased frozen strawberries to add to tomorrow's shake. It felt like a good way to thicken the shake, and keep it cold, without concern for ice melting and watering down the flavor (a bold move for someone who doesn't each much fruit.) I always loved chocolate covered strawberries, so I figured this is worth a shot.If you are concerned about getting protein into your vegan diet, you might want to give this a try for yourself.
