Ingredients
Plant Protein Powder
- 2 tbsp almond flour to reduce the fat content, you can bake this for 10 minutes then use a paper towel to remove the excess oils
- 2 tbsp pumpkin seed power you can roast and grind pumpkin seeds into a powder
- 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1 tbsp old-fashioned rolled oat powder you can grind old-fashioned rolled oats into a powder
- 1 tbsp sunflower seed powder you can roast and grind sunflower seeds into a powder
- 1 tbsp cacao powder single-origin raw cacao is minimally processed
Plant Protein Shake
- 200-500 ml unsweetened soy milk each 100ml of soy milk (unsweetened) add 3g protein, and 2g carbs.
- 1-2 tbsp pure maple syrup depends on how sweet you want it but each tbsp does add more calories (around 55cal)
- 5 cubes ice this adds some water to make the shake less thick, and makes it a wonderful cold beverage for the summer mornings.
Instructions
For The Plant Protein Powder
- Mix all the ingredients together, you can x this recipe by 5 or 7 to make a jar of protein powder per week. Store in the fridge. You can add cinnamon or salt for extra flavour if you wish.
For The Shake
- In a blender, add all the shake ingredients and the protein powder. Blend until frothy. Soy milk does that.
- If you have created a jar for the week, use about 8 tbsps of the powder to make an equivalent of the 1 portion above. You may need to adjust the quantity of soy milk (if you use 500ml of soy milk, the total shake comes to 30g of protein, 36g net carbs, 10g fiber, 26g fat - the healthy unsaturated type from soy) or if you want a low cal one, just add water (it may change the taste and reduce the protein content).
- A good tip is you can split this shake into 2 shakes of 4 tbsp plant protein powder, because 200ml is quite a small portion, and when blended it makes it a really light beverage. That will give you an additional 6g of protein.
- If you find this too bitter or really nutty in taste, add 1 more tbsp of maple syrup or a sweetener of your choice.
