Meeting daily protein requirements for an active vegetarian/vegan is often a challenge. Consuming the required protein is often an expensive affair with buying all the supplements. We can get the required protein by simply looking into out plant sources more closely. Half a cup of peas has almost 4 grams of protein and the taste of green peas is easily masked with the usage of chocolate and the fruit in this Chocolate & Orange Smoothie with Pea Protein Recipe. If you are not sold on chocolate and orange together simply skip the orange and add some vanilla extract.
The Chocolate & Orange Smoothie with Pea Protein makes for a great breakfast on the go and even as a post workout drink. It can served along with Sago Yogurt Parfait Recipe.
