This is an idea I put together for a quick nutritional drink I could drink as soon as I wake up with little preparation. I want to get just a little nutrition and liquid in my system before I have anything substantial. I wasn’t sure how this would be. The drink mix I am using was a semi-spontaneous purchase I justified by the fact it has as detailed nutritional profile on the side. I saw several similar powers, but they didn’t list nutrients.
The recipe is so simple, comes together quick, and the flavor combination is surprisingly complementary.
