Cacao Shake

Our Cacao Protein Shake is so unique as it is produced using pea protein isolate. This is a plant- based protein source containing all 9 essential amino acids. It is easily digestible and therefor ideal as a pre training snack as it doesn’t lie heavy in your tummy.

The raw cacao powder is of high quality which delivers the delicious chocolate flavour to the product. Cacao powder is known to be rich in flavanols which are potent antioxidants and have anti-inflammatory properties. These flavanols may assist in improving blood flow in the body, may improve cholesterol levels, lower blood pressure, and help regulate blood sugar levels.

This makes it an ideal pre-training shake or post-workout recovery shake. If consumed before a workout, especially in the early morning when your body is fasted it provides your body with sufficient protein and carbohydrate, which fuels your muscles as well as preventing muscle breakdown enabling you to train for longer or hit your desired workout intensity.

When consumed after a workout, especially within a 30min window after your workout the carbohydrate replenishes your glycogen stores whilst the protein prevents muscle breakdown and aids in lean muscle synthesis making your recovery faster and preparing your muscles for the next training session.

If you require an extra hit of calories due to the nature of your sport you may find it beneficial to blend a banana, oats, and / or nuts or nut butter into the shake to meet your energy requirements.
