Shut your eyes for a second. Imagine that you’re laying back in a hammock—shaded by a coconut-studded palm tree—as you slowly rock under the blazing sun as waves come rolling in and out.

Serene, right?

Even if that’s unrealistic and you’re actually bundled up in a parka, braving subzero temperatures as you traverse the urban arctic tundra, that’s exactly where our Coconut Mango Power Protein Shake will transport you to. We’ll take it, even if it’s only for a split second of delusional bliss.

Stuffed with superfoods like mango, coconut, and goji berries, it’s an uber-delicious, tropical geyser of nutrition that’s exploding with protein, fiber, B vitamins, healthy fats, antioxidants, and a spectrum of vitamins.

Blend it up, pour it out, and sip it down. Hell, go all-out and drink it straight from a coconut.
