🥣 Recipe: Mick’s Clean Wave Smoothie

Serves: 1

Ingredients:

• ⅓ scoop Mikuna Pure Chocho (~20 g plant protein)

• ½ cup organic frozen strawberries

• ½ cup organic frozen raspberries

• ½ organic banana (peeled + frozen), or ~¼ cup sliced frozen banana

• 1 tablespoon organic almond butter

• 2 tablespoons organic rolled oats (certified gluten-free if needed)

• ¾ cup unsweetened organic almond milk

• ½ cup ice cubes (optional, for a cooler, thicker texture)

Instructions:

1. Add Chocho powder, frozen berries, frozen banana, almond butter, oats, and almond milk into a high-speed blender.

2. Blend on medium-high for 30–45 seconds until smooth and creamy.

3. If the smoothie is too thick, gradually add more almond milk until desired consistency.

4. For a colder, frothier texture, blend again with the optional ice cubes.

5. Pour into a glass. Optional: top with a few oats or a sliced strawberry for visual appeal.

6. Enjoy immediately for best flavor and texture.

Tip: For sweeter flavor, stir in 1 tsp organic maple syrup or honey before blending. To tweak the nutty profile, you can swap almond butter for peanut butter.

🍇 Why This Smoothie Works — Nutrition, Satiety & Balanced Energy

Plant-Based Protein + Fiber for Fullness
The Chocho protein adds substantial plant protein, which — when combined with fiber from berries, oats, and banana — can help prolong feelings of fullness and reduce overeating. Protein shakes and high-protein meals are shown to support appetite control and metabolic health. 

Steady Energy, No Crash
The mix of complex carbohydrates (from fruits and oats), healthy fats (almond butter), and protein offers a balanced macronutrient profile. This helps prevent the rapid blood-sugar spikes and crashes often triggered by sugary drinks or refined-carb breakfasts. Including plant protein and fiber helps moderate glucose absorption and supports stable energy levels.

Digestible & Digestive-Friendly
Because the smoothie uses a clean, minimally processed plant protein (Chocho) rather than heavy isolates or dairy-based powders, it's gentle on digestion. Plant-based proteins also tend to contain fiber and fewer compounds linked to digestive discomfort compared with some dairy proteins. 

Convenient, Whole-Food Nutrition
This smoothie is a quick, one-bowl meal that delivers a balanced mix of macronutrients, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants — ideal for busy mornings, recovery after exercise, or anytime you need a clean boost. Smoothies like this are recognized as efficient tools for meeting nutrient needs without heavy meals.
