Prep Notes
This makes for a great breakfast if you're in a crunch for time or prefer to eat a light breakfast. It's easy to make, easily adaptable and packed with nutrients. It's also a fantastic post-workout go-to as well because it holds a whopping 25g of protein, loads of complex carbohydrates and is quick to consume.

Notes
Feel free to experiment and substitute as desired. The spirulina and turmeric are the crucial anti-inflammatory ingredients. They're loaded with anti-oxidants and nutrients that promote joint and muscle health. However, if you don't have any in your cabinets, don't worry.
Spirulina is a new one for me. It took a while to find something it pairs well with, but I find strawberries, bananas, and apples go very well with it as well as vanilla flavoring. Blueberries and chocolate not so much. Play with it and find what works for you.
