Reasons why I really love this drink:
- The Dolce Whey Protein is a great source of fast acting protein that can help refuel me after a tough workout. This brand of protein comes from Grass-Fed cows and has no added sugars so it’s nice not having to worry about what’s actually in the powder.
- The antioxidant power of flavonoids and essential minerals and vitamins found in 100% cacao make it a superfood.
- Healthy fats from the cocoa and almonds.
- Raw almonds provide another source of protein.
- This drink is not only great for post workout nutrition, but is also great for anytime of the day. It’s very nutritious and provides healthy fat, proteins, vitamins and minerals. I tend to drink a little before each workout and then finish the rest right after I finish.
