That’s it! It’s the perfect solution to quick + simple + healthy.
Other than the fact that Svelte Organic Protein Shakes are absolutely delicious, they are vegan, gluten-free, organic, non-GMO, have a low-glycemic index, and contain complex carbohydrates which give you sustained energy longer. There is only 6 grams of sugar in all their flavors, including their newest, Banana Crème which I used in this recipe.
Being that I eat a vegan diet, I am always looking for ways to get more protein in my diet and Svelte is an easy, perfect way to do so. You can enjoy them straight from their eco-friendly packaging, or get creative and add them to your favorite recipes in place of your milk as I did with this Banana Cream Pie Oatmeal!
