Nutrition Series: Sweet Potato Apple
It's common knowledge for many that Whey Protein Isolate is the Gold Standard in protein for performance and recovery, but we like to aim high, so we paired Protein with superfoods to create the ultimate healthy snack.
In our Sweet Potato Apple Smoothies we chose Sweet Potatoes, one of the best complex carbohydrates you can eat for sustained energy, muscle and bone function and recovery, and paired them with apples to help extend endurance and boost your immune system. Both foods are naturally sweet and with the addition of super-spice cinnamon, we created the perfect pie-like flavor profile to satisfy your nutritional needs without compromising on taste.
