L-R: amaranth, cashew, adzuki, lentil, chia |
Sasha and Fabian's veggie protein powder:
6 Tbsp of masa harina (corn flour)
2 Tbsp ground flax seed
1 Tbsp of amaranth flour
1 Tbsp ground adzuki beans
1 Tbsp ground lentils
1 Tbsp ground cashews
1 Tbsp ground sunflower seeds
1 Tbsp ground chia seeds
1 capsule of maca
1-2 Tbsp of nesquik or flavoring of your choice
2 pinches of sea salt
the seeds and beans i ground in a coffee grinder on the finest setting. the nuts work better in a blender because of the natural oils.
it nutty with a slight green flavor, but is actually a lot more pleasant that i anticipated. we now have a meal booster or meal replacement that is mostly organic and local and contains only what we want it t;, dairy-free, vegan, gluten-free and preservative-free. it also provides over 19g of protein per serving, comparable to many body building protein powders on the market but without the mystery ingredients.
- i made half a serving this morning and mixed it with 1/2 cup of water and 1/2 cup of yogurt.
- throw the powder in a ziplock bag, add some raw veggies and dip for a yummy easy lunch
- fabian is using it as a post work out protein boost
- and 1/2 servings for that midnight craving
