A delicious, vegan shake that delivers 21g of protein from peas, cranberry, chia, and sacha inchi, a good source of omega-3 EFAs.

• Amino acids from protein provide the very structure of DNA and therefore may play a critical role in the development, growth, and health of all anatomical structures of all forms of life.
• Proteins are vital for building and maintaining cardiovascular, pulmonary, neurological, muscular, ocular, intestinal, hepatic, and many other tissues.^†
• Required for creating the two primary proteins in skin, collagen, and elastin.^†
• May help build and maintain lean muscle tissue.^†
• Improves strength and exercise performance.^†
• Reduces recovery time between exercise sessions.^†
• Provides BCAAs, which are used preferentially by muscle for energy.^†
• Leucine promotes protein synthesis in skeletal muscle.^†
• BCAAs decrease exercise-induced muscle protein breakdown, increase protein synthesis and enhance post-exercise muscle recovery.^†
• Glutamine is an anti-catabolic amino acid that aids in muscle growth by increasing levels of leucine in muscle fibers, and stimulates muscles to store more glycogen.^†
• May help maintain a healthy weight as part of a healthy diet and exercise program.^†
• Pea protein has been shown to help maintain LDL cholesterol and triglycerides already in the normal range.^†
• Omega-3 rich Sacha Inchi may help ensure a healthy inflammatory response.^†
• Alpha galactosidase is a target-specific enzyme that helps break down the glycoproteins found in abundance in many legumes such as beans and peas. If glycoproteins are not hydrolyzed by alpha-galactosidase, they will be fermented by gut flora; producing intestinal gas, bloating, and intestinal distress.^†
• Bromelain jumpstarts digestion by breaking protein bonds and releasing amino acids.^†
