"There are so many synthetic proteins out there that sort of mask different things but I just love how clean and pure it is - especially in this day and age, that’s what we need for our bodies."
MIKUNA Customer
"I love Mikuna’s chocho powder. Have been using it for almost 3 years and it provides clean, 1 ingredient protein dosage that I need daily. I add it to my fresh veggie juice everyday. Great clean product!"
