Unflavored protein powder and raw cacao
What do you think? And best quality / brand for the price?

As far as protein powder goes I don't use it I try to get my protein other ways, so can't help you there.
But as far as Cacao Powder goes. Here goes a link to what I currently use. I usually just add water and ice put in a shaker bottle for pre or post work out. 1 or 2 tablespoons to 16 oz of almond or cashew milk also works. Nut milk(pause) works best. You can put it in oatmeal or cereal as well. Less gritty cause it sticks to the grains.
There are probably cheaper options out there but you get a pound and it lasts a long time. My wife and I both take the raw cacao and we're not even half way done with the bag after a month of using it everyday. Just look for something organic and make sure it says raw cacao/cocoa. Raw cacao nibs are also a good option. They're bitter but you can pop them and eat them like a snack. Saves the hassle of mixing the powder.
Like all healthy options it takes a little getting used to, but the benefits are incredible.

10 x 12 leg curls
finally i jumped on the treadmill for two all out sprints
__________________________________________________________
that samsung 'milk' hip-hop radio station is all that. 3 hrs of music with no repeats.
begin and ended my workout with PE songs ..... 'fight the power', and 'can't truss it'
towards the end of the cardio work 'naughty by nature/ hip hop hooray' came on and put me in another dimension
on the way home the fugees was rockin
FUGEES LYRICS
"Fu-Gee-La"

Smokin' beadies as I burn my calories,
From Hawaii to Hawthorne, I run marathons, like
Buju Banton, I'm a true champion,

Drink your vegetables much better than eating them
I'm always surprised at the amount of people that talk about working out claim to enjoy vegetables. They're nasty
I drink them in the morning to get it out of the way

I always liked the taste of veges
My ma told me when I was a young kid I used to "sneak" vegetables off the counter while she was cooking when I thought she wasn't looking
But then again people call me weird because I never eat desserts or any sweets and it's not just because of health reasons. I don't have the urge or taste for the shyt and most of its usually too rich for me
Got a kilo of that raw comin in 
@jerniebert
Also wanted to add something I do that may or may not have any benefits but a little while after I workout and eat / drink my shake + supps I flex whatever muscle group(s) I worked really hard for a few seconds, multiple times.
I figure while nutrient rich blood is flowing through my veins I can try to increase blood flow to those areas I hit by doing this. There's nothing scientific or anything behind why I do it, just something I figure can potentially have an effect
Maybe I'm just a weird nikka

Active recovery, there's some science to it. Goes along your line of thinking.

In terms of what you gonna have on a daily process. Outside of milk of your choice have the rest of your drinks be water. Altho I personally need my coffee tho.
Also try to eat lots of lean meats. Chicken, salmon, tuna, etc. also switch to either eggs or oatmeal for breakfast. For me I mix oatmeal with a banana and im set till lunch. Altho I mix it up and eat an egg & chesse sandwich if I already worked out or it's an off day.

That's all I drink is water, milk, coffee, and green tea.
I mix a banana with my oatmeal with peanut butter and boiled eggs
shyt is probably the goat breakfast

shyt peanut butter on oatmeal sounds so good. But knowing me I put too much on it honestly. Once I got my diet right eating is much more enjoyable compared to when I was 190 or even boarderline obese.
Creatine is the truth.
I almost said pre-workout, but I'm convinced that the key ingredient in the C4 pre-workout I'm taking is creatine.
It's like a damn PED. At the end of my workouts and I'll be like, "Well I destroyed everything. Guess it's time to go." You'll still have endurance after an hour in the gym.
When I was off C4, workouts were a grind. Had to push myself to finish.
