I love Mikuna’s chocho powder. Have been using it for almost 3 years and it provides clean, 1 ingredient protein I need daily. I add it to my fresh veggie juice every day.

I’ve never liked the aftertaste of protein powders, but Mikuna makes my smoothies taste better. No chalky texture, no weird taste, and a super short ingredient list of things I can actually pronounce.

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 is a game changer for me and my daughter. Thank you Mikuna!
