Your Bag is Empty
Après is packed with good-for-you ingredients that give your body what it’s craving in the post workout moment. So, what exactly are those ingredients and what do they do for you? Let’s take a look
ORGANIC COCONUT WATER: In Hawaiian, coconut water is called Noelani which means "water from the heavens" and we couldn't agree more! Coconut water's cool and refreshing taste is rich in electrolytes and trace minerals for full body rehydration making it perfect after a workout! (1)
ORGANIC PEA PROTEIN: Pea protein has an incredible amino acid profile which means it's perfect for revitalizing muscles, toning up and sustaining your post workout burn. This easily digestible plant based protein has also been shown to lower your level of the hunger hormone, ghrelin. (2)
ORGANIC CHIA: In addition to protein, these little super seeds are packed full of minerals, omega 3's, antioxidants and fiber. They also have 3x the antioxidants of blueberries! Does it get much better than that? (3)
ORGANIC HEMP SEEDS: Hemp is a rich source of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids which the body needs for energy production, cardiovascular health and healthy skin. Plus, hemp contains all 20 amino acids which makes it a complete protein. Perfect for maintaining a healthy and happy body. (4)
ORGANIC VIRGIN COCONUT OIL: We love coconut oil so much that we wrote a full article (link) on it’s benefits. It’s a beneficial fat because it helps keep you fuller longer while increasing energy and revving your metabolism. Boom. (5)
ORGANIC COCONUT SUGAR: We've added just a hit of organic, all natural coconut sugar to give you that yummy taste without the added guilt. Coconut sugar, unlike most other sugars, has a low glycemic index meaning it won't spike your blood sugar and also has additional minerals like iron, zinc and calcium. (6)
ORGANIC CACAO: The Incas considered cacao the drink of the gods, so it couldn't be more fitting for all you goddesses. This powerful superfood is rich in iron (more so than any other plant) and also contains anandamide which is know as the "bliss" molecule. Chocolate lovers rejoice! (8)
ORGANIC SUNFLOWER LECITHIN: Sunflower lecithin is an oil created by pressure extraction of sunflower seeds. This oil is loaded with phospholipids which have been shown to create and strengthen brain and nerve cells, as well as decrease inflammation throughout the body. Who would have thought such a beautiful flower had so much power! (9) (9.1)
ORGANIC MONK FRUIT EXTRACT: Monk fruit, also known as Luo Han Guo, is a naturally sweet melon from the mountains of China. It's one of our favorite sweeteners because the extract doesn't contain sugar or calories. The sweetness in monk fruit comes from a type of glycoside called mogrosides and these little guys are full of antioxidants that help the body function properly. Monk fruit has also been used for centuries in Eastern medicine as a digestive aid and cold remedy. (10)
ELECTROLYTE BLEND (Potassium Phosphate + Sea Salt): These two salts are essential minerals for many functions in the body and aid in rehydration. Sea salt specifically contains 60 trace minerals that help you stay hydrated along with digestive enhancers that help your body absorb more nutrients. (11) (12)(13)
ORGANIC MADAGASCAR VANILLA: Vanilla is more than a humble flavoring. Vanilla contains vanilloids (see where the name comes from?) that help reduce inflammation and also activate receptors that help improve mental performance. (14)
ORGANIC COCOA POWDER: One chocolate ingredient wasn't enough for us, so we added cocoa powder! Recent research demonstrates that cocoa powder has a beneficial effect on blood pressure and insulin resistance plus anti-inflammatory properties. Double the pleasure, double the taste! (15)
NATURAL FLAVORS: Natural flavors are what help give Après its punchy taste. Unlike artificial flavors, which are synthetic, we use natural flavors that are 100% vegan and derived from plants. (17) (18)
