Energy intake for vegan diets
Today we propose you from Weider a vegan recipe to enrich your smoothies and make them more protein and energetic: a delicious vegan energy smoothie!
Vegan diets often make it more difficult to get adequate protein and calories needed to burn energy. Smoothies are often a good food option for a quick energy boost before or after training.
In this energy smoothie we have used our best-known vegan protein, the Vegan Protein, as the protein base for this smoothie. The protein in this product comes primarily from high quality pea protein and rice protein. Both are staples in the vegan diet. Pea protein covers almost 100 % of the essential amino acids. Rice protein benefits muscle development and maintenance, which is ideal for active people.
Together with the vegan protein we have mixed products that are well known for their energetic properties such as banana, avocado and spinach.
Here are the ingredients, quantities and nutritional information for this vegan recipe.
