I can’t speak highly enough about their protein powders.
If you think protein shakes are just for gym junkies, think again. Most of us don’t get enough protein, and a shake with a scoop of protein powder is the best way to fix that.
It’s also great if your goal is to manage your weight- it fills you up without heaps of dead calories.
Check them out. I love the coconut and banana…but all the Radix flavors kick ass.
