The Brazier Vegan Chocolate Shake. When I spoke to professional triathlete Brendan Brazier, he said that one of his readers was so inspired by the Thrive Diet (a vegan, mostly raw nutrition plan) that the reader opened a juice and smoothie bar dedicated to Brendan's book Thrive.
Brendan added, "He's actually made my original smoothie recipes even better. " In his latest book, Thrive Foods: 200 Plant-Based Recipes for Peak Health ($13), Brendan has included a few revamped smoothie recipes courtesy of his fan back at Thrive Juice Bar. I decided to make "The Brazier," which is essentially a healthy chocolate shake.
For the vanilla vegan gelato, I used So Delicious Vanilla Bean Coconut Milk ice cream with no sugar added. The recipe is not overly sweet, and I think the shake would be a great post-workout drink or a dessert substitute for adults and kids alike. Tell me what you think after you make your own Brazier smoothie. Ingredients Directions Makes 2 cups Information Category Smoothies, Drinks. Snack Attack: Almond Berry Banana Yogurt Smoothie.

They are delicious and I’ve never met anyone who doesn’t like the creamy “milkshake-like” texture of my protein shakes. Check out my how-to video located on the right!
