Why This Supports Your Body

This isn’t just “high protein”—it’s strategic:

• ~100g protein → supports muscle repair, metabolism, and satiety

• Protein + healthy fats → helps stabilize blood sugar and reduce cravings

• Leucine-rich sources (chicken + tofu) → support muscle building + recovery

• Dairy-free + gluten-free → easier on digestion for many

• Anti-inflammatory ingredients → support hormones + overall recovery
