Mikuna, Chocho Superfood Protein $42.00
Sip on a superfood smoothie youll actually want to drink.
Available in chocolate, vanilla, and pure chocho.
Pea, brown rice, soy, hempthese are the traditional players many brands have bottled.
Especially when blended together, these plant-based proteins can give your body some serious TLC on the nutrition front.
But Mikuna swaps out these prominent players for a lesser-known legume you should have on your radar: chocho.
Native to Ecuador and Peru, this altitude-loving legume has been a staple in Andean culture for years.
If you go for a plant-based protein, go for a mix versus a single protein.
So instead of just pea, look for pea and brown rice.
That way youll get all of the essential amino acids, she said.
On the flip side, less is more.
In the same article, nutritionistLisa Kilgourexplained that protein powders that are simpler are better.
The best proteins keep the ingredient lists so simple, its hard to find them, she said.
This simplicity is what makes chocho unique.
The pure chocho powder is evenmorepared down, skipping the flavorings completely.
But as we mentioned, Mikuna is a triple threat.
Nutrition and taste aside, chocho is a sustainable alternative to foods like soy and rice.
while improving the soil quality for other crops down the line.
The result is healthier, more responsible farming for our planet.
Who would have thunk such a little legume could be so powerful?
