Why These Ingredients?
Pea isolate supplies most of the protein. Powdered peanut butter adds roasted flavor, hemp contributes fat and texture, cocoa adds bitterness, and flax thickens blended drinks.
Substitutions
For peanut allergies, replace powdered peanut butter with more pea protein or a tolerated seed-protein powder. Check every package for allergen and cross-contact statements.
