Day #11 and I’m already thinking about tomorrow’s breakfast. We usually make brunch at the weekend anything from pancakes to eggs or these smoothie bowls. The addition of the protein in the nut butter and vegan protein powder makes these really filling. You can experiment with any kind of toppings you like, from fresh fruits [...]
