And by using water, it keeps the calorie content down.
You can add a different fruit by swapping blueberries for another berry, grapes or simply cut up a banana. Other ideas include grating an apple or mixing in clementine segments.
Try chia seeds instead of flaxseeds and maca powder instead of cacao.
Sunflower seeds are a good alternative to pumpkin seeds.
The plant protein I use is Vivo Life Perform which is a complete blend of protein, BCAA's (branch-chain amino acids), turmeric and digestive enzymes.
However, there are many other quality plant base proteins out there including Form Nutrition, Neat Nutrition and Nutri-Genetix.
