I used to skip breakfast because I hit the snooze alarm four too many times. Ha, get it? Four, not far ;)

All puns aside, protein shakes in the morning have been my go-to, allowing me to start my day off right with 30g of protein and a quiet stomach through morning staff meetings. And that, my friends, is a small victory.

Here are my top favorites, renamed to my liking…

PANK EVERYTHANG (as seen above)

Almond Milk (1+ cup)
Vegan Vanilla (2 scoops)
Banana (1/2 banana)
Frozen Strawberries (1 cup)
*Almond Butter (1 tbsp)
*Honey (just a squirt)
*Cocoa Nibs (for Insta)

I’M ON ISLAND TIME

Almond Milk (1+ cup)
Vegan Vanilla (2 scoops)
Pineapple (1/2 cup)
Blueberries (1/2 cup)

PURPLE DRAAANK

Almond Milk (1+ cup)
Vegan Vanilla (2 scoops)
Blackberries (1/2 cup)
Blueberries (1/2 cup)
*Chia Seeds (1-2 tbsp)

AVOCADON’T TOUCH THIS

Almond Milk (1+ cup)
Vegan Vanilla (2 scoops)
Avocado (1/4-1/2)
Strawberries (1/2 cup)

CHEERY WITH CHERRIES

Almond Milk (1+ cup)
Vegan Chocolate (2 scoops)

You’ll notice a few things…

I put 1+ cup of almond milk because I have noticed that vegan protein needs a liiiiiittle more than a cup to be a flowy smoothie consistency. No one likes to drink smoothies that have the same texture as concrete… #vomitrocious

I have played around with cashew, sunflower and almond butter and have loved it! Definitely add those and experiment with different fruits if you’re feeling adventurous and need extra healthy fats.
