The TJF breakfast of champions

Posted in Recipes, Tim's Diary by Tim Jones on June 13th, 2007

This morning I made a smoothie for breakfast. It was really tasty and I have definately found a new recipe that I will be using much more. The main ingredient I need to tell you about is a new product I found in the Adult Willy Wonka Factory (Whole Foods in High Street Kensington). Its called Egg Nation and is the best protein supplement I have found so far - Click Here for the Egg Nation website to find out more and to buy online.

Having liquid egg whites in your smoothie may sound gross but trust me, all the sh*t that is put in your whey protein supplement is much grosser.

TJF Breakfast of Champions Recipe:

  • 250ml Egg Nation
  • 3 scoops natural goats milk yoghurt
  • 6 big strawberries
  • 1 white nectarine
  • 3 scoops organic oats

Let me know what you think!
