The Good Inside

Spices don’t just add warmth and flavor. Many spices are packed with healthy antioxidants. The golden spice turmeric is one of the most powerful of all, with research showing it is a natural anti-inflammatory so it soothes muscles after a workout. And when you take turmeric with healthy fats like those found in this smoothie, you maximize its absorption.

Organic coconut oil is full of MCTs, which provide sustained energy, and help to reduce body fat, especially around the belly area (1). MCTs and protein work even better together to help achieve your workout goals (2).

Organic Super Protein provides 18g of plant protein sourced from organic superfoods, more energizing MCTs to help satisfy cravings, and organic omegas to support heart health.

With warm, nutty flavors this golden smoothie will soon be a favorite. Enjoy every day or use it following a tough workout to give your body extra support for repair and recovery.
