\"Breakfast\"<\/a>Some of us wanting to eat only real foods might miss the convenience of whipping up a protein rich smoothie \u2013 most protein powders are too processed, contain some sort of undesirable additive, or are based on foods that might not suit our metabolism. Yes, we can add raw eggs to our smoothies, but we may be aiming for more protein per meal than we can get from eggs.<\/p>\n

Enter, gelatin! Yes, there is still some processing of it, but most people tolerate it well, and many are finding it therapeutic for gut health and joint pain. The gelatins (red or orange can) need to be dissolved in hot water, but the Collagen Hydrolysate in the green can dissolves in cold, so is perfect for protein shakes. It isn\u2019t a complete protein, but you can add a little taurine and possibly some glutamine to complete it.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve been making our own superfood protein mixes, and want to share with you some examples of how we\u2019ve each individualised our blends. Mix everything till well combined and store in sealed containers.<\/p>\n
