HISTORY & ORIGIN

Peas have been cultivated for thousands of years providing strength and nourishment to humans. The peoples of Asia and Europe valued it for its high protein content and its overall nutritional values. Today Peas remain a key ingredient in Vegan diets. In the fertile lands of Canada, the White Pea grows in ideal conditions, offering one of the purest and most nutritious forms of known plant-based proteins. We us this wonderful vegetable and legume to make a superior product, our Organic Pea Choco Protein

Carob is a known traditional flavor enhancer in the Mediterranean region. Carob has been loved for its natural sweetness and high nutritional value, contributing to health and boosting energy. From ancient times to the present, it has been a natural and nutritious ingredient adding a natural and "earthy" sweetness to our diet. Carob has also been known taste wise as a substitute of Cacao as it shares a similar flavor profile. Once known as "poor man's cacao", Carob is today re-discovered for its very high fiber, low fat and no caffeine content. We have selected a Cretan Organic Carob for our Protein. The Greek island of Crete produces Carob globally recognized for its exceptional quality.

Cacao named the “food of the gods,” held a sacred place in the cultures of the Mayas & Aztecs. With its antioxidant properties and rich chocolaty flavor, it became a timeless symbol of well-being and spiritual strength. Chocolate like beverages once produced from Cacao were considered food for warriors and aristocrats connecting enjoyment with nourishment. We have selected a Peruvian raw and Organic Cacao powder for our Protein, the best of its kind.

HOW TO ENJOY

Our Organic Pea Choco Protein is perfect for any time of the day. Try it in the following ways:

• Smoothies & Beverages: Mix 1-2 tablespoons into 250-300ml of plant-based milk, water, or other liquid and stir/mix well. As all our proteins contain no additives, nor thickeners or emulsifiers it is recommended to mix using a blender/smoothie maker. Adjust sweetness by adding honey, dates or a sweetener of your choice (between 10 and 20g depending on your preference). For sweeteners we recommend allulose, monk fruit or stevia as well as sugar alcohols in moderation like xylitol or erythritol. If you like a more creamy texture, consider adding and mixing in the blender with 30-40g of a healthy fat source like avocado, sweet potato or steamed/canned pumpkin or concentrate
• Morning Boost: Combine it with oatmeal, yogurt, or fruit for a tasty breakfast
• Recipes: Add it to bars, desserts, or pancakes for an extra boost of plant-based protein
• Vegan Meals: Use it in sauces or as a supplement in snacks for balanced energy throughout the day
• Pre/Post Workout: Since this is a fast digested protein food, you can consume 1 to 3 hours before or closely after a workout to enhance muscle synthesis and recovery. Some studies suggest that the optimal time window for women is 30 to 60 minutes after a workout. Other studies mention that if your goal is to meet your daily protein intake timing your consumption of protein within 24 to 36 hours is not important. Timing protein intake depends on multiple factors (age, activity level, gender etc.) and science is generally not conclusive on this topic
