The easier something is, the more likely you are to follow through with it. This especially rings true for eating well, a task that often gets put on the back burner when juggling a plethora of other responsibilities. It may sound cliché, but smoothies are a great way to quickly tick those nutritional boxes off the list — as long they are not filled with too much blood sugar-spiking fruits, inflammatory dairy products, or protein powders containing processed fillers.
In search of the perfect kickstarter or mid-afternoon boost, our team developed our best-selling Camu Cacao Superfood Protein Powder to get you through the day. With 10 grams of plant-based protein, this energizing pantry staple is often what we turn to when our schedules are jam-packed or simply craving some clean chocolatey goodness.
To help you improve your performance and enjoy a delectable treat, members of the Provenance team shared their must-try recipes for Camu Cacao Superfood Smoothies. But first, let’s get into why this protein powder is the best option available on the market.
Good for Gut Health
Designed by nutrition experts who also create our Clean Eating Programs, Provenance’s Protein Powder would not be complete without additional gut health benefits. To support a healthy flora and ease digestion, it is packed with gut-friendly probiotics, prebiotics, and digestive enzymes.
Superfoods with Superpowers
Rather than relying on artificial flavoring, our powder contains digestion-boosting cinnamon and rich sustainably harvested cacao for an indulgent flavor profile. Reigning from Central America, mood-boosting cacao is filled with essential minerals like calming magnesium to set your day up to be calm and collected.
The other star ingredient, camu camu, is a superfood berry native to the Amazon. As one of the world’s most abundant sources of vitamin C, it brings a variety of benefits to the body, including a stronger immune system and healthier skin.
Cacao and camu camu both contain an abundance of antioxidants, which are molecules that help prevent or slow down cell damage.
Ultra Clean Label
Provenance’s Camu Cacao Superfood Protein Powder is made from 100% organic natural ingredients. It contains zero harmful and inflammatory ingredients found in other protein powders: artificial flavors and sweeteners, carrageenan, soy, vegetable oils, maltodextrin, xanthan gum, and fortified vitamins and minerals.
