🧠 How This Smoothie Supports Health & Wellness

✅ Antioxidants & Anti-Inflammatory Support

Raspberries are rich in vitamin C, anthocyanins, and other polyphenols — powerful antioxidants linked to reduced inflammation, cellular protection, and overall health benefits. Cleveland Clinic+1

These compounds may help mitigate oxidative stress, support heart health, and even contribute to healthy aging. Healthline+1

✅ Balanced Protein + Fiber for Steady Energy & Satiety

Thanks to Chocho protein, this smoothie delivers ~20 g of complete protein — including all essential amino acids — which supports muscle maintenance, metabolic health, and satiety.

The fiber from raspberries helps slow digestion and stabilize blood sugar, reducing the likelihood of spikes and crashes. This combo makes the smoothie ideal for breakfast, post-workout recovery, or a midday energy boost.

✅ Clean, Plant-Based, Easily Digestible Nutrition

Unlike heavily processed protein powders that rely on isolates and additives, Mikuna Chocho is a whole-food plant protein — delivering protein, fiber, and micronutrients with minimal processing. That makes it more gentle on digestion and ideal for clean-eating lifestyles.
