I am definitely all for non-processed whole foods. But I do love my Natures Path Cereals, Silk Almond Milk, Organic Ketchup, and of course Protein Powder. When I got into using protein powders a couple of years ago I wanted and needed something that was gluten-free, vegan, soy-free, non-gmo, and nothing artificial and unrecognizable. Not only that but I wanted it to taste good and be affordable. I had tried some really cheap rice protein powders in the past and was totally turned off and scared away. But then Plant Fusion came along and I decided to give it a shot.
My dad works at the company that owns, makes, and distributes Plant Fusion so he can get it for me whenever I want or need. (I also get some sneak peaks at new flavors 🙂 ). (P.S. I just found out yesterday that the company actually OWNS Plant Fusion, haha, I thought they just distributed it!). The first flavor I ever tried was the classic Chocolate flavor. and o, it was perfect! It blended so well into my smoothie, no grit or nasty taste. It tasted like wonderful chocolate heaven. From that point on I could not get enough! From there I branched out and tried the Vanilla Bean (o so good!) and then more recently the Chocolate Raspberry. I still have not tried the new Cookies N' Creme flavor (yes, still G-Free), but will definitely have to. They also make an Unflavored powder which I guess would be good for enhancing a recipe or something you bake. All are 120 calories a scoop, have 21g of protein, has a full amino acid profile, and a multi-source plant protein combo from Pea, Artichoke, Sprouted Amaranth, and Sprouted Quinoa proteins.

Plant Fusion also recently came out with there new line called Phood, which is a "100% plant-based whole food meal shake that's more than a meal in every scoop!". It comes in 2 flavors, Chocolate Caramel and Vanilla. I tried the Chocolate Caramel and it was outstanding (I hope they make this flavor in the regular protein powder soon!).

I use Plant Fusion pretty much everyday in something I eat. If I am making a smoothie I will just throw it in the blender, or for breakfast I will add it to my Quinoa Flakes for extra protein and a flavor boost! I also like to add a tablespoon to my nightly glass of almond milk, which I just stir in so it is not totally blended and then I can eat the protein off the top! Haha, don't knock it till you try it! I also love drinking from my Plant Fusion Bottle! (It makes drinking copious amounts of water so easy!)
Otherwise and most importantly I use Plant Fusion in my Post-Workout shakes. I know and trust that I am fueling my body for recovery well.
Post-Workout Shake
I just blend about ½ cup of Almond Milk, 1 small banana, 1 Scoop of Plant Fusion, a massive quantity of Spinach, and some ice. So good, quick, and easy to digest!

I would absolutely love to win this. I would make your overnight oats or smoothie recipe with it. 🙂 Unfortunately not a twitter or FB user, etc...so not able to do a lot of entries. But I would love to try Plantfusion but can't order online and in Canada where I am, I see none 🙁 But I know I would be faithful to it....you can send me big tubs anytime 🙂
I do like your blog and can't believe you are only 17 ! You are so together...I'm 32 and quite lost and rock bottom with food/fitness/health...bigtime..I'd email you for advice, but you are only 17 and we are so so different. Eat up girl....don't ever eat less or fall into orthorexic thinking 🙁 It will lead you wrong (like me...)

My favorite way to use protein powder is in shakes or sprinkled in my oatmeal for flavor and added protein boost! 🙂

I like to use protein powder in my healthy pancakes. Add PP with eggs and a banana for an awesome, healthy start to the day!
