Plant Power Blend

The Plant Power Blend is how I start most mornings: one simple, plant-based blend of protein, healthy fats, berries, cacao and fiber.
The ingredients
Pea protein
A plant protein that supplies all nine essential amino acids, including leucine. It is naturally lower in methionine than most animal proteins.
Extra-virgin olive oil and walnuts
Olive oil adds monounsaturated fat and polyphenols such as oleocanthal. Walnuts add alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a plant omega-3, and ellagitannins, which gut bacteria can turn into urolithin A in some people.
Blueberries and raspberries
Blueberries bring anthocyanins, the pigments behind their color. Raspberries bring ellagic acid and plenty of fiber. Together they add flavor and micronutrients with little sugar.
Cacao
Rich in cocoa flavanols, natural plant compounds.
Inulin
A soluble prebiotic fiber from chicory root. Gut bacteria ferment it into short-chain fatty acids.
