For all of those looking for grain free breakfast try this protein packed tiger nut smoothie.
For all of those looking for grain free breakfast ideas, the new Tigernut Smoothie Mix launched by Organic Gemini is a great add on for your breakfast protein smoothie.
When following a paleo grain free diet, grains, well, they are the first ones to go… and together with them one has to say goodbye to most of the smoothie protein powders out there, which are mostly made with brown rice protein. 
This new Tigernut Smoothie Mix allows you to add a boost of protein (extracted from green peas) to your breakfast while improving your gut’s health at the same time thanks to the prebiotic fibers contained in tigernuts that can reduce cravings and make you feel fuller longer.
