...Shannon! I can't wait to run the 5k with you this weekend! And then because we have a mutual love for all delicious vegan food, we will most definitely be enjoying breakfast together after!
Who else wants to join us?! You can still register!
This morning I shared teaser photos of my diet lately, mainly consisting of protein smoothies.
Protein powders aren't something I invest in often. Simply because it is just that...an investment. So expensive, and the vegan, whole foods protein powders are crazy! Ultimately I am cheap. I won't sacrifice my health for cheapness, but if it isn't a necessity, rarely will I invest a ton of money. So I picked up a huge container from Trader Joe's of their brand soy vanilla protein powder. I haven't tried it with just water, but in a smoothie it tastes wonderful. It packs 25 grams of protein per serving and has a very short ingredient list. While ultimately I would prefer a pea or hemp protein, this soy protein does the trick.
