The Source
A Protein 2,000+ Years
in the Making
Chocho is a rare Andean lupin cultivated by indigenous civilizations long before modern protein powders existed. Grown at altitude in Ecuador’s pristine volcanic soil — no pesticides, no processing shortcuts, no blending to hide weaknesses.
Altitude Grown
Above 10,000 ft, closer to the sun — where intense UV drives richer photosynthesis and denser nutrition
Naturally Complete
All 9 essential amino acids — without fortification, extraction, or isolation
Lectin-Free
Unlike pea or soy — no gut-disrupting lectins
Low Glycemic
Ideal for metabolic health & GLP-1 users
Regenerative Crop
Naturally fixes nitrogen in the soil, restoring the land with every harvest
Indigenous Communities
Grown by Kichwa farming families in the Ecuadorian Andes for generations
2K+

I've been chugging protein for 10+ years but most don't sit well with me. Since switching to Mikuna I've been pretty much flare-up free. It takes an extraordinary product for me to leave a review. Extraordinary Mikuna is.

I'm shocked Mikuna Chocho protein has not received more attention. A single ingredient plant derived protein with a truly impressive amino acid profile. Satiated longer while free from the GI discomfort I experienced with other proteins. A superior product.

I rarely ever rate products. However, finding a clean protein powder with only 1 ingredient, that is this high vibrationally due to who is growing it, where it grows, the water that nurtures it, the way it adds to the soil composition, and the plant signature itself, is a game changer for me and my daughter. Thank you Mikuna!

Frequently Asked
Answers Worth Reading.
The most common questions about Chocho, our sourcing, and how to use Mikuna in your daily routine.
What is Chocho?
Chocho is an ancient lupin that has been used for thousands of years by Indigenous Andean communities. It grows at an elevation of 11,000–14,000 feet, and it’s a highly functional protein source packed with good stuff — fiber, vitamins, minerals, all nine essential amino acids, and as much calcium per serving as a glass of milk.
What does Chocho taste like?
Pure Chocho has a mild, nutty taste that blends nicely without overpowering other flavors. Cacao and Vanilla have a touch of sweetness. All of our products are natural and free of artificial colors, flavors, and sweeteners.
Is this a meal replacement?
Only if you choose to use it that way. We think of our powders more as meal enhancements — adding protein to whatever you want to eat rather than replacing it.
What makes it different from other protein powders?
Mikuna Chocho Superfood Protein is a single-ingredient whole food protein — no blends, no fillers, no isolates. Chocho is the only source of protein in our products, and it delivers all 9 essential amino acids naturally, without fortification. It’s lectin-free, soy-free, gluten-free, and grown at altitude in the Ecuadorian Andes.
Is Chocho just for smoothies?
Definitely not. Chocho Superfood Protein is incredibly versatile — use it as a gluten-free flour replacement for baking, stir it into savory sauces, mix it into homemade ice cream. Its wide range of uses means it’s not something you’ll get tired of. Check out our blog for more recipe ideas.
What makes this more easily digestible than others?
Chocho is a lupin, and unlike most other legume-based proteins, our proprietary debittering process ensures Chocho Superfood Protein is free from lectins — proteins that are resistant to being broken down in the body and can cause digestive problems. All Mikuna products are 100% lectin-free.
Is this pea protein?
No. Chocho is a whole food and the only source of protein we use. While many protein powders are blends, Chocho Superfood Protein is made solely from Chocho — no pea, no soy, no quinoa (and more protein than all three combined).
Is it a complete protein?
Yes. Our Chocho Superfood Protein contains all 9 essential amino acids, making it a complete, whole-food protein.
How much protein does Mikuna contain?
Our powders provide 20 grams of clean plant protein per serving, and there’s no limit to how many servings you can have each day.
How much protein do I need in a day?
Depending on your body type and lifestyle, the FDA Daily Value for adults is 50 grams of protein per day based on a 2000-calorie diet. With 20 grams per serving and a variety of uses, Chocho Superfood Protein is a great way to get high amounts of healthy plant protein into multiple meals.
Which flavor is most popular?
Between Cacao, Vanilla, and Pure Chocho, the most popular flavor constantly changes. For those looking to cook with Chocho, Pure Chocho is the favorite — it works in both sweet and savory recipes and adds the most neutral flavor without any sweetness.
Do you share test results or COAs?
Yes — every batch is independently tested by Eurofins. View the latest results on our Test Results page.
Where can I find Mikuna?
You can shop at mikunafoods.com or on Amazon. If you’re in the Los Angeles area, Mikuna is available at all Erewhon Market locations, with more retail partners coming soon.
Allergy information
Chocho (Lupinus mutabilis) is a member of the legume family and classified as lupin.

Do you ship overseas?

How long will it take to get my order?
