Don't take it from us- listen to Dr. Stephanie! 🤗 (@wfpb_doctor) and the many other health care practitioners who recommend our protein powder over other options in the market.

Do you know what makes our protein a better option for you?

1. Beyond organic, beyond regenerative- We buy our sacha inchi seeds from small organic family farms in Peru AFTER we Purity Verify them for over 400 chemicals, heavy metals, allergens, and gluten.

2. Whole Food Protein is superior to isolates. ZEGO's Pure Protein Powder is a whole food powder. It's simply cold pressed, lightly roasted, and ground to powder. That means it is more bio-available and not processed with chemicals or industrial enzymes.

3. An allergy friendly, single ingredient! Yes, this product is made of 100% organic sacha inchi seeds and nothing else (no stevia or monk fruit!!).

4. Processed in a facility that is free of the top 14 allergens.
Get the protein you need 100% worry-free with ZEGO 🥳💚

It's that time of year again, where we all need something warm and yummy that's good for our tummies🥰
This Dairy-Free Creamy Mushroom Soup is the perfect meal to feel better while getting a great variety of nutrients!
(Added Bonus: even Meat eaters will be satisfied with this hearty soup) 🤩

Ingredients:
- 2 + lb of a variety of mushrooms, half chopped small and half sliced and cut to pieces about 1" long (so they easily fit on your spoon when eating)
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 1 red onion, diced
- 1-2 shallots, diced (optional)
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 tbs ghee or olive oil
- 3 tbs ZEGO Pure Protein
- 2 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp grated nutmeg (about 1/3 of a nut)
- 1 sprig of rosemary or 2 tsp dried
smoked or regular salt (amount depends on taste)
- 4 c cooked white beans (if using canned, drain and then measure 4 c)
- 4 c low sodium broth
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
chopped parsley for garnish

Directions: 🥣
1) In a large soup pot, make a roux by first toasting the protein powder gently for a few minutes over low-medium heat, stirring constantly. The powder will start to change color as it roasts. Take care not to burn it. Add 2 tbs ghee or olive oil to the roasted powder. Cook, continuing to stir constantly, for another 1-2 minutes.
2) Add the onions, shallots, and garlic to the pan and sauté for 5 minutes until soft.
3) Add the mushrooms, herbs, spices, and 1 cup of broth. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5-10 minutes until the mushrooms soften.
4) Meanwhile, puree the white beans in a blender with just enough water to cover them.
5) Add the bean puree to the pot along with the rest of the broth. 6) Stir to combine.
7) Heat through and add salt to taste. Optionally, add additional olive oil/ghee for more flavor and depth or more broth to thin the soup to your desired consistency.
8) Scoop into bowls and sprinkle chopped parsley on top.
9) Enjoy with the whole family! 🤤

With what seems like endless options when it comes to Protein Powder,
why should you choose ZEGO Pure Plant Protein Powder? ❓🤔

Sadly, the majority of protein powders contain high levels of heavy metals, (such as lead, cadmium, and arsenic), which are known to cause cancerous tumors and developmental disorders 😨

With all ZEGO products, we test for these heavy metals to make sure they aren’t elevated. In fact, you'll be able to see the lab results on each bag with our Purity Test Panel. Take the worry out of your meal planning with ZEGO's Plant Protein. ✔

Not only is our Protein Powder clean, but it is extremely nourishing, delicious, and 100% plant based!

If you haven't tried our Protein Powder yet, what are you waiting for?! Check out the link in our bio to make the switch today! 🔄💁‍♀️

How are you starting 2022 better than 2021? 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️ Share with us in the comments!

Our staff voted and decided that the #1 easiest way to destress daily life is FOOD PREP! 🤯

Habitually building in even just 1 hour a week can make every day smoother and happier for you and your family. 💗

Here are some examples:

1. Use ZEGO's Muesli to make overnight oats. Invest in some pint-sized ball jars and simply combine our muesli with yogurt or your favorite plant-based milk. We use about 1/2 muesli for 3/4 cup liquid. With 2 flavors to choose from, Cinnamon Twist and Apple Cranberry, you have 2 mornings taken care of in about 15 minutes for a family of 4. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

2. Make Friday smoothie day. Combine ZEGO's Pure Plant Protein Powder and seed butter, frozen berries, and Mix-Ins. You can measure all these out ahead of time into a Ball jar and simply pour it into your blender the day of. Estimate prep time: 10 minutes. 🥤

3. Make Pancakes! They're a great frozen and tossed in the toaster oven to reheat. Our trick is to sprinkle them with water before you reheat them. It helps keep them moist. We have several delicious pancake recipes on our website. Estimated prep time: 30 minutes but you can shorten that by using 2 pans to cook more pancakes at once. The key with oatmeal pancake is to use a low heat so they don't burn. 🥞

4. And don't forget OATMEAL! You can make a large batch on Sunday and use it all week.
- combine with Cranberry or Apple Cinnamon Mix-Ins
- add other toppings like berries and nuts/seeds
- stir in a little yogurt for probiotics
- add dairy free milk
- add Chocolate Chip Mix-Ins for a treat! 🥣

5. No time to prep? No worries. Here are some great ideas for instant breakfasts:

- Combine ZEGO Muesli with non-dairy yogurt or milk and eat like you would cold cereal.

- Add Mix-ins to your favorite dry cereal to add nutrition and staying power.

- Have a couple of hands-full of Mix-Ins. They are packed with nutrition and are so satisfying!

Have a Happy New Year friends! 🎊🥳 ...

What the heck is Muesli, and how does it support your immune system? 🤔❓

Muesli is a Swedish breakfast recipe that combines oats, seeds, and fruit to create a fast, healthy alternative to boxed cereal.

All you need to do is combine with your favorite milk, yogurt or alternative. Soak overnight (or a couple of hours) for overnight oats or for just a few minutes while you get your morning beverage and eat as a cold but incredibly satisfying cereal. Or, cook it stovetop for a bowl of delicious, superfood oatmeal. 💪🥣

How does it support your immune system? Well, our muesli has 10% of your daily need for iron, 4 grams of fiber, and 8 grams of protein for starters. Then, to boost the vitamins, phytonutrients, minerals, and protein digestibility, we add in some apples, cranberries or dates and pumpkin and sunflower seeds.

Try our Muesli as a delicious, plant-based alternative to your bacon and eggs, muffin, or cereal and discover how wonderful it is for you, and your body! 🥰

These Muesli Gluten-Free Oat Scones make a yummy breakfast or snack to enjoy right at home 🏡 Their texture is the perfect combination of a scone and a biscotti.

INGREDIENTS
1 cup walnuts (or safe substitute if you are allergic)
2 cups ZEGO muesli (Cinnamon Twist)
2/3 cup cassava flour (or substitute)

METHOD
Preheat oven to 350°F
Using small pulses, grind walnuts in a food processor until ground into a flour (a medium grind is fine — make sure to not pulse walnuts until they become a butter!).
Pour walnut flour into a large bowl & combine with dry ingredients.
Put wet ingredients in the food processor and pulse until combined in one smooth mixture.
Combine wet and dry mixtures in the large bowl. Mix using a wooden spoon & your hands if necessary.
Place scone mixture onto a piece of parchment paper and flatten. Cut into 2″-3″ strips and then cut each strip using alternating diagonals to create triangles.
Transfer triangles onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake until golden brown (10-15 min).
Let scones cool before removing them from the sheet.
If you would like scones to be more dry like a biscotti, put them back in the oven at 275°F for approximately 10 minutes.
1/3 cup brown sugar (or white sugar+1t molasses)
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp cinnamon
Pinch of salt
1/2 cup almond butter (or safe substitute)
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup oil
1 egg (or safe substitute)
1 tsp vanilla

Have both flavors of muesli in your pantry at home? Try making a batch of each flavor and see which you like best! 😉
