Premium Ingredients, On Purpose

The plant protein in our shakes is EarthChamp by Wyldsson: pea, pumpkin, sunflower and coconut, sweetened with real dates and banana. No gums, no sucralose. The organic açaí is Okah, sourced from the Amazon basin and fresh frozen. The matcha is Yuuki-Cha, an organic Japanese importer shipping tea straight from certified organic gardens since 2007. The fruit in your shake, banana, berries, kale, is fresh, never frozen.

We picked every one of these for how it tastes, not what it costs. And the whole menu is gluten free, every item, every topping.
