As you can see this diet is rich in protein (yes you can build muscle on a vegan diet), in vitamins and minerals.
I'm gonna be honest with you, this recipe surprised me, I took the picture that is shown above after plating but I was like: "It looks great but let's see how it tastes".
 After putting my first mouthful I was in love with this recipe and I'll definitely try it a lot more often!

Now it's hard to say that a vegan diet ain't healthy right?





This is one of the easiest, healthiest and most flexible hot/cold breakfasts you can ask for!

If you are in a rush you can always put the ingredients (not the green tea) in a food processor with a bit more water or soy milk!

Enjoy this recipe!
