I have searched long and far for a snack bar and protein shake that tastes amazing, is made with shitake and Rishi mushrooms for their immune-boosting support, sweetened with natural and non-gut irritating monk fruit and made for women!!

It passes ALL of my requirements for healthy and nutritious: 

✔ 15g protein

✔ plant-based

✔ gluten-free

✔ keto-friendly

✔️ zero sugar

✔ dairy-free

✔ vegan (not a requirement for me, but for many)

✔ soy-free

✔ non-GMO

✔ high in fiber, aka 💩-friendly

✔ paleo-friendly

✔ kid-friendly and ❤️.  Mom approved
