We like to make smoothies at least once a week for breakfast. Marcelo hates peanut butter, so I really just make this one for me 🙂 We discovered Vega vanilla protein powder at Whole Foods and love the very mild vanilla flavor. It’s the perfect addition to almost any breakfast smoothie and helps fill us up until lunch. It adds a whopping 15g of vegan protein to your smoothie without a bunch of added sugar! I also like using PB2 in smoothies to get the awesome flavor of peanut butter without all the extra calories. Almond butter or regular peanut butter would probably also taste great in this. Any almond milk will work great, but we used Califia Farms Toasted Coconut Almond milk, which we also found at Whole Foods. The oats help add some texture and the vanilla extract gives it a little punch of flavor. It’s one of my favorite breakfast smoothie recipes, hope you all enjoy it.
