Sunwarrior Protein Review | Chocolate Almond Chia Breakfast Pudding
Diet Info: DF GF F LF Na LS VG V Fa

Growing up, I have vivid memories.... when I used to hide the protein supplements of my younger brother, thinking, ah... you don't need one! Why don't you eat better diet?! Even I used to have  argument with Vishal for similar reason, telling him, all you need is good diet! 

But the big question is.... does today's diet provide all necessary nutrients?? Answer is NO! And this I have learned after my nutritionist told me to regulate my protein in-take. Whenever I'm on vegan/vegetarian diet, lentils or soy protein does not supply sufficient amount of proteins that body need. In my home, there are many days in week, when we don't eat or cook non-vegetarian, I mean no eggs, no chicken, no fish! So on those days (specially) and in general, I needed something which is vegan and preferably organic way, to fulfill my daily nutrients and protein supply!! This is when I started adding Sunwarrior protein blends in my everyday shakes and smoothies.

Protein powder always taste too much chalky and gritty to me. So, I not wanted to invest in a big jar of protein powder, unless I'm convinced with the taste. One of our local organic smoothie shop sells any shake with a scoop of sunwarrior, and this is how I was introduced to it. We were visiting the store and I had this protein-intake thing-y in my mind. When we stopped to get smoothie, Vishal suggested me to try protein supplement...... that day, I followed his, protein supplement are good, advice (for the first time!)

I tasted and actually liked it!!! My first reaction was... thank God, it does not taste like Chalk! And then, after some research, we bought a jar home that day! (smart phones have made research, a piece-of-cake!)

Coincidentally, Sunwarrior sent me a sample kit of Sunwarrior Products last week! It was pretty exciting since I was already using their product!

What totally surprised me is, the variety of products sunwarrior has to offer! Other than their raw, vegan, gluten free, soy free classic vanilla and chocolate proteins, which I was after, they have so many other products.

To name a few,

Immune Shield, a natural Fulvic Complex to support better immune health. 

Organic Activated Sprouted Barley Powder, a slow burning carb powder to get a dose of whole day steady sustained energy. Just 30 calories per serving, this supplement has very low glycemic index and ton of active enzymes.

Raw Organic Super greens Juice Powder (ORMUS). a soy free and gluten free blend of powerful super greens to recharge your body every day!

Sun warrior Classic Protein, Vanilla, Natural, and Chocolate flavored, are soy free, vegan, gluten free, and are made with raw whole grain brown rice. Perfect for a person (like me) who is not getting daily required dose of proteins due to vegan or vegetarian diet or someone who don't eat eggs daily! eggs daily!! With so much pressure of cholesterol and bad fats, and my meat-free days... I don't think daily-eggs going to happen.

You can make shakes too! Sunwarrior product dissolves very well with almond milk, juices, or regular milk (if you prefer).

This pudding is yet another way of eating daily supply of protein, just a little jazzed-up - wholesome morning breakfast!

  4. Heard a lot about chia seeds but never tried...definitely going to give this a try:) Lovely clicks as usual:)
  5. Kimberly, as your heard Chia seeds are considered source of good fats and used very often in breakfast shakes, cereals, and also used in baking instead of eggs due to their gel structure. I hope it helps! but always research more if you plan to use it for any health reasons.
  6. Kimberly, no prblm.. we all learning... true! Chia are not sold in India, but if you go to SuperMarket store which sells all breakfast cereals, you might find it. these days Indian industry growing pretty fast. And yes, you are right! Chia seeds are exactly like Falooda seeds, which are called Basil Seeds (Tukmaria seeds). I researched this when I first used chia, there will be no diff in taste!
  7. What exactly are chia seeds? They look so much like falooda seeds to me. I've heard so much about their health benefits. Do we get them here in India? Please excuse my ignorance :(
