We used the sacha inchi protein powder because it's super easy to absorb, which keeps it gentle on the stomach :) And we love the prebiotic fibre in our formulation which feeds our microbiota- it's a protein powder that supports gut health and we're thrilled that you've noticed the difference.
I tried many plant based protein powders and this is the best one by far. No nasties and it has a clean and simple taste (not too sweet - love it). I mix it with almond milk for a post workout shake and add it to my morning smoothie bowl or chia pudding.
