Hemp Seeds

A complete plant protein containing all essential amino acids. Also one of the richest sources of magnesium — helping with energy production, protein synthesis, muscle contraction and nerve signalling during and after training.

🫘
Rolled Oats

Provide slow-release carbohydrates that sustain energy during a workout. Also contain beta-glucan, a fibre that lowers LDL cholesterol and feeds beneficial gut bacteria.

🍫
Raw Cacao

Extraordinarily high in antioxidants and magnesium. The flavonoids in cacao improve blood flow to the brain, enhancing focus and concentration. Theobromine provides a gentle, sustained energy lift without caffeine's sharp spike.

🥜
Almond Butter

Provides healthy monounsaturated fats, vitamin E and additional magnesium. The fat content also slows carbohydrate absorption, extending the energy release from the oats and banana.

Amanda's note

Just like a chocolate milkshake, only healthy. An ideal snack before or after your workout — the hemp seeds, almond butter and oats together create a genuinely complete protein and energy package. The magnesium from hemp seeds, almonds and cacao works during the workout (supporting muscle contraction and nerve signalling) and equally hard during recovery (reducing cramping, improving sleep quality and boosting serotonin).
