the health boost tip
We really enjoy Pulsin’s unflavoured pea or lava bean protein. I scoop should provide about 25g protein.
Do make sure to chose your protein powder wisely to address your nutritional needs. Seek professional help from a qualified practitioner before adding superfood powders or supplements. If you do use Pulsin then on their website use code HB30 for a 30% discount.
