Rethinking Breakfast. Quinoa, Nuts, Granola in seconds

Inspired by Rich Roll's comment on rethinking breakfast. I have moved my breakfast away from processed foods (not completely).

Summary of my morning cereal:
1 Part Granola
1 Part Red Quinoa
1 Part Mixed nuts
Some Nut Milk Unsweetened.

Short Videos to Watch. Pre-Post Workout Drinks & Brendan Brazier on Vegan Pro-Athletic Eating

One draw back of eating vegan is you have to eat ALOT. Massive amounts of veggies. If you ate them just via spinach salads, you would be the last one to finishing eat.

One buddy of mine tried going vegan for a week. I asked how it was going. He said "Hungry." People are used to eating a certain size bowl. I then showed him Rich Roll, from Finding Ultra and a video of him eating. I said "do you think he is hungry." MASSIVE amounts of Kale, Spinach, celery... sometimes shoved into a blender for easy eating. Does it taste like a snickers or chicken wings, no. Usually the response is "hum, not bad" (as in "not good," but at least not bad).

Here is a Post Workout Vegan recovery drink:


And a Pre-Workout Drink also from Rich Roll.
