This homemade protein is vegan and 100% natural, you only need the following ingredients and a blender to make it.

Ingredients:

¾ cup dried pea
¾ cup amaranth seeds
¾ cup pumpkin seeds
¾ cup sunflower seeds
¾ cup chia seeds
¾ cup oats
¾ cup flaxseeds

Preparation:

Start by blending the peas until you obtain a powder, separate and reserve. Do the same with amaranth, flaxseed, chia and oats.

Pay special attention when blending the pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds, these seeds have fats, if you blend them too much you may end up with a paste, which we don’t want.

It doesn’t matter if they are not 100% powdered, because once you have the protein ready you will grind it again in the blender when you make your shakes.

Once you have all the seeds ground, mix very well in a container, and store them in a cool, dry place or refrigerator.
