| This is how I start most of my days. |
I have never been a morning person. I've definitely never been a breakfast person. As a matter of fact, I'm lucky if I can choke down a piece of fruit in the morning without feeling like crap. Instead, I tend to drink some sort of tea or coffee (though even teas can be dangerous) and hit the ground running on empty. As such, I've started putting my protein powder into my morning drink on the days that I can't make myself eat. This isn't really much of a meal replacement, as I don't think my energy drink is meant to have any sort of satiety satisfying ingredients, but it works for me.
Ingredients:
12-14 ounces of coffee (cooled is best; mine is usually left over from Clancy's pot before his midnight shift)
4 ounces "milk" (don't use creamer, you'll go through it way too quickly & it'll be crazy sweet)
1 scoop Plant Fusion Vanilla Bean Protein Powder*
Directions:
Shake well. The Blender Bottle does all of the work.

* = I used Plant Fusion Vanilla Bean Protein Powder because it tastes amazing in coffee. I recommend using a flavored powder to give it more of a latte/mocha texture and flavor, versus a plain, unflavored powder.
Plant Fusion's PR department sent me this 2 pound tub of their Vanilla Bean flavor for consideration. This does not change my opinion of the product, and I reserve the right to my honest opinion. Thank you to P.F.!
