Raw Protein Smoothie Bowl

At the Farmer’s Market last weekend I was given a sample of Raw Protein. I never feel satisfied when I drink my breakfast so I decided to incorporate it into a smoothie bowl, complete with lots of toppings!! This recipe gives you the framework then allows you to get creative!

Ingredient Breakdown:

v Raw Protein Powder – This vegan, non-GMO, organic protein powder is one of my favorite options for those who need a quick go-to meal or after workout protein source. Each serving contains 90 calories and 17 grams of protein, along with probiotics and enzymes to promote optimal digestion.

v Hemp – These seeds provide the polyunsaturated essential fatty acids in an ideal 4:1 ratio, omega 6 to omega 3.  Hemp seeds are also a good source of protein and fiber, which work together to help keep you fuller longer. Adding a bit to salads, smoothies, etc. may curb those munchies later in the day.

v Bee Pollen – Bee pollen is high in B vitamins, boosting energy and stamina. Similar to other honeybee products, many allergy sufferers report that bee pollen helps ward off symptoms. In addition, the high antioxidant content of bee pollen may have an anti-inflammatory effect in the body, particularly the respiratory system, potentially helping with asthma.
