This is a quick and easy recipe for some wholesome energy packed vegan pancakes! I used Slender You’s vegan protein powder in it. The video shows the full recipe, or alternatively the recipe is at the end of the post

A few quick notes:

• You can adjust the quantities of the ingredients as you go along (That’s what I did :p). Adding more oats or almond milk should you want it thicker or more liquid for example.
• If you like the pancake batter to be finer and less ‘wholewheat’ opt to blend all the ingredients instead of just mixing them.
• Yes the pancakes in my photos are slightly burnt or lets rather use the word crispy :p but the chocolate flavour protein powder also contributed to the dark colour, just saying. You can use a noon stick pan or even a pancake griddle pan.

This great ‘Morning Kickstarter’ Smoothie can be incorporated into anyones lifestyle whether you are vegetarian or not. The reason the title includes ‘vegetarian,’ is for someone who has recently made the change. Becoming vegetarian, you can find yourself baffled on what to eat and you may not enjoy the idea of actually having to eat loads of raw fruit and vegetables.

So this smoothie is a great way to give you a whole hoist of natural vitamins and minerals without having to physically eat so many pieces of fruit! It tastes great and provides a great energising and recovering boost!

It is also a great way to get yourself to drink quite a bit of water, which is always good!

The smoothie’s ingredients consist of various fruits and vegetables and Future Life’s High Protein Smart Food which gives it a bit more flavour if you like that. Have the drink first thing in the morning or straight after a workout and feel free to add or replace any ingredients as you see fit. You can adjust the liquids to your preference.

*The smoothie can be made vegan also by replacing the future life powder with something like Hemp protein powder.

Here is a recipe for a mouth-watering, nutritious, high protein smoothie which can be used ideally after an intense workout out, or even as a snack in between meals.

Just a small tip, if you want to make a sweet smoothie and have it thick and milky like a milkshake, opt for low fat plain cottage cheese instead of ice cream. High in protein and low in sugar!

The best smoothies are nutrient-dense, providing vitamins and oils necessary for good nutrition. Fat is required for biological functions and burned by your body for energy; a good smoothie should have some dietary fat. Simply blending a banana with ice and skim milk does not make a good smoothie; there is almost no fat for the body to use in assimilating the vitamins, and there is little nutritive content at all. A healthy smoothie contains egg yolks, coconut oil, cream or other nutrient-dense foods. Smoothies are a great, simple way to get in the extra nutrition you need. [1]
