Vegan Chickpea Protein fortified with Minerals, Vitamins and Aminos

Oh it's so tempting to just jump into supplements because I know I could use them to really get into shape. But no, I won't. Supplements are a real food and I am not denying their ability to make a difference, I have seen it. For this blog I will be going through several months of just eating clean as I want to see if good food supports the objectives of building muscle mass.

Many supplements have lots of sugar and I am aiming to transform my body and mind with just natural foods. That said I will be using a chick pea protein to fortify my smoothies. I want to make sure that my body and mind receive all the nutrients they need. However I won't be using 'Bulk Up' or 'Slim Down' or any other formulae designed to shape your body. No I will just be using a natural pea protein to increase this important nutrient and cover my macro nutrient base.
