Vegan Protein Powder
Being vegan, I like to get this extra protein boost into my day.
I use Genuine Health Organic Fermented Vanilla Protein Powder or Form. They are both delicious and with nofunky additives.
Be wary with protein powders as a lot of them have ingredient lists as long as your arm. Try to buy high quality if you are going to use one.
Another alternative I like to use is pure Pumpkin Seed Powder. It comes only unflavoured and is honestly pretty tasteless lol.
Smoothie Notes
I don’t use any additional sweetener. However, you can add a medjool date, maple syrup, agave, or date syrup if you’d like it on the sweeter side.
People have varied tastes when it comes to smoothies in regards to how thick they like them. This recipe is exactly how I make mine. Feel free to add more, or less,liquid/ice to get your desired thickness.
Different protein powders WILL change the taste. The Vanilla Genuine Health one that I use is the absolute best tasting I have found, EVER. And by a lot. You can also omit the protein powder entirely. Maybe add a little vanilla extract or kefir to the mix if you omit the powder.
A Magical Start to Your Day
Food is magick, always. So let’s harness that and get our day started off with intention, mindfulness, and positivity.

Intention setting while we are preparing our meals is a stellar way to inject some magick into our normal daily routines.I mean we all gotta eat, so why not make it magickal. Practical magick at it’s finest!
