Benefits description
This powerful smoothie really does have it all! Especially favoured by athletes, pea protein brings a highly bioavailable complete protein and is exceptionally rich in "branched chain amino acids" - these have been shown to keep the body in a state of muscle building, protect muscle and act as fuel for the body, all whilst promoting the healing of bones, muscle tissue and skin. Spirulina also gives a good protein boost, along with its superior antioxidant status it will keep the cells working to optimum capacity. The nuts and seeds not only provide a plethora of essential vitamins and minerals but are also full of extremely healthy fats - an absolute necessity, needed for the integrity of every cell membrane in the body and is used to fuel your organs, particularly the brain and heart.
