The 3 Best Additions to your Protein Shake

For many fitness fanatics, protein shakes are essential! After all, they can be the perfect way to flood your body with the nutrients needed to bounce back from a workout, burn fat, boost energy, and build muscle like a pro.

But too we use same old ingredients so... It's time for a protein-shake recharge! Here are our picks for the best and most exciting ingredients to toss into the blender that will boost the nutritional value and flavour of your shakes.

RAW CACAO POWDER

If you love chocolate smoothies—cacao powder is a great way to add taste without all the extra calories from fat and sugar. Opt for brands that are organic like NUA NATURALs (BUY HERE). We offer raw cacao powder instead of "Dutch-processed," which is treated with alkali to give it a milder flavor, but can lay waste to most of its ultrahealthy flavonoid antioxidants. Cacao powder is also a surprising source of fat-fighting fiber and energy-boosting iron.

HULLED HEMP SEEDS

Also called hemp hearts, hemp seeds can instantly make your shakes better. There is about 10 grams in each three-tablespoon serving. In fact, hemp contains all of the necessary amino acids needed to form a complete protein, making it a plant-based protein with serious muscle power. These seeds are also packed with must-have omega fatty acids and magnesium. Check them out HERE

MATCHA GREEN TEA

This powder is a serious antioxidanct boost and we've blended it with other amazing superfoods like Lucuma and vanilla to give you an extra nutrition and flavour boost with our Matcha latte range (Click here to check them out).

Matacha contains 137 times more antioxidants than you get when you simply drink green tea. These antioxidants are known to ramp up the burning of belly fat by boosting your metabolism.
