As you know, we Veggie Runners love a hearty breakfast. Indeed, sometimes we love breakfast so much we have two. True fact. Occasionally, though, life gets in the way – flights to catch, early meetings, even earlier runs, that kind of thing – and the best option is to have a breakfast shake ready to go to keep your energy levels up until you have time for a proper meal. Combine a great vegan shake like this one with a healthy snack – a banana, an apple, a handful of nuts – and you’ll have a great start to the day however early you need to spring in to action.
This vegan Hazelnut and Date Breakfast Smoothie is one of the best. It has lots of healthy carbs giving you a slow release of energy to keep your pecker up. It has protein from the hazelnut butter and the cacao too, to help keep you fuller for longer.
Best of all, it tastes amazing, like the best milk shake you ever dared dream of as a kid but without any added sugar or artificial flavourings. You can make this in a heartbeat when you need it or whizz it up at bedtime and pop it in a jar or some tupperware in the fridge. If you have an early start, boost your day the healthy way, even if you’re propping your eyes open with matchsticks 🙂
