Correction: If you want 100% vegan you have to choose a different type of protein ) best alternative is hemp, but it is quite expensive. There is to much controversy with soya, especially for men and rice protein is really hard to get.

Ingredients:

Steel cut oats – (you can use rolled oats if you prefer, but steel cut are healthier)
Whey Protein – (any brand and taste you enjoy)
Alfalfa powder – (I found this taste best from other chlorophyll sources)
Blueberries/Cherries (or both!) – you can alternate with cranberries, strawberries or my favorite – goji berries.
Cinnamon – make sure it’s Ceylon cinnamon (Scientific name: Cinnamomum verum)
Cocoa powder – alternatively you could use chocolate bytes (but that will add more calories, especially if it has sugar)
Stevia sweetener – make sure it’s 100% stevia and atleast 85-90% stevioside purity (alternatively you can use sucralose or acesulfame-k)
Bananas – optional!
