Alright everyone, I love you but let us keep this short and sweet. I’m exactly half way through Catching Fire, book 2 in the Hunger Games trilogy, and every second I take writing this is time I could be using to read about Katniss and the oh-so-perfect Peeta. (even though I already know what happens!!)

One of the things I have really strived for since going vegan and revamping my diet is getting rid of cereal. I was majorly addicted to the convenience of cereal and would often have it for breakfast and occasionally dinner. yeah…sort of missing out on a few food groups when you do that!

So I’ve had to find new breakfast foods, which I find a lot harder then new lunches or dinners. Second only to the green monstah (which I’m still uber addicted to!), I think this has been my favorite new breakfast. It’s one of those unfortunate recipes that has a lot of really odd ingredients but it comes together pretty easily once you have everything.

Though, all I can think of as I post this is, I had a lot of people scoff at the Green Monstah smoothie (Major kudos to Aubrey for giving it a shot and letting me know she enjoyed it!! ), I can’t even imagine how people are going to react to hemp protein powder…

adapted from Healthful Pursuit
serving: 1 cake

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup Egg Replacer egg whites
• 2 tbsp hemp protein powder
• 1 tbsp coconut flour
• 1 tsp melted coconut oil (you can also use 1 TBSP of coconut butter but I couldn’t find it anywhere)
• 1 tbsp apple sauce
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 5-10 drops liquid  stevia – I used 10
• 1/4 cup frozen berries (you can also use fresh but I used frozen in the cake and fresh on the side)
• 1/2 container of vanilla non-dairy yogurt (I used So Delicious Vanilla Coconut Milk yogurt. super yummy)
• handful of fresh mixed berries

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375F.
2. Combine all ingredients but berries in a small bowl and mix until fully incorporated.
3. Stir in berries.
4. Put mixture into one cup of a muffin tin.
5. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 25-28 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
6. Serve with the yogurt and fresh berries (I like to crumble up the cake and mix it in with the yogurt and the berries to form a mushy bowl of deliciousness)
