Plant Protein - European‑grown fava bean - Chocolate
Beans and seeds have sustained civilizations from the Mediterranean to the Andes. Our protein centers on European‑grown fava bean isolate—selected for its complete amino acid profile and clean taste—paired with fermented nutritional yeast protein rich in natural B‑complex compounds. This foundation supports muscle maintenance, recovery, and steady energy for active days.
Cocoa carries a history of celebration and ceremony in Mesoamerica. Its polyphenols add depth of flavor and a gentle antioxidant lift. MCT oil powder contributes quick‑burning fuel; apple pectin and a touch of sea salt support comfortable digestion and electrolytes. Stevia provides sweetness without added sugar, keeping the profile lean and versatile.
The result is a smooth, satiating shake with a classic chocolate character—straightforward nutrition you can enjoy daily.

DETAILED INGREDIENTS LIST
TENDRA® FAVA BEAN PROTEIN ISOLATE (SOURCED FROM EUROPE)
Introduction & History:
Fava beans (Vicia faba), also known as broad beans, have been cultivated for thousands of years in the Mediterranean and Middle East. Tendra® is a European-sourced protein isolate developed to provide a clean, sustainable, and allergen-friendly plant-based protein.
Molecular Function & Mechanism:
Fava bean protein is rich in essential amino acids, particularly lysine and leucine, supporting muscle protein synthesis and recovery. The isolate form removes most starches and fibers, resulting in a highly concentrated, easily digestible protein with improved taste and texture.
Modern Use & Theory:
Used in plant-based protein powders to support muscle health, daily nutrition, and recovery, while emphasizing sustainability and allergen-free formulation.
YESTEIN™ FERMENTED NUTRITIONAL YEAST PROTEIN
Introduction & History:
Nutritional yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) has been valued for decades as a nutrient-rich food source. YESTEIN™ represents a fermented form designed for improved digestibility and flavor.
Molecular Function & Mechanism:
Provides all essential amino acids, natural B vitamins, beta-glucans, and antioxidants. Fermentation enhances protein bioavailability and reduces bitterness, while also generating metabolites that may support gut health.
Modern Use & Theory:
Included in plant-based formulations to increase protein density, provide immune-supportive compounds, and contribute to clean-label nutrition.
NIDAU COCOA POWDER
Introduction & History:
Cocoa has been cultivated for thousands of years by Mesoamerican civilizations, prized for both flavor and vitality. Nidau cocoa powder is a premium processed form known for its smooth flavor and balanced profile.
Molecular Function & Mechanism:
Cocoa is rich in polyphenols, especially flavanols, which act as antioxidants and support vascular health by improving nitric oxide availability. It also contains theobromine, a mild stimulant with mood-enhancing effects.
Modern Use & Theory:
Nidau cocoa powder is used for flavor, antioxidant support, and cardiovascular health benefits in functional foods and supplements.
NIGHTFALL BLACK COCOA POWDER
Introduction & History:
Black cocoa is a heavily alkalized form of cocoa, known for its deep color and rich, smooth flavor. It has culinary roots in European baking and modern functional formulations.
Molecular Function & Mechanism:
Alkalization reduces acidity, providing a darker color and smoother taste while preserving portions of cocoa’s antioxidant compounds.
Modern Use & Theory:
Used primarily for its unique flavor and appearance in supplement powders while still contributing trace antioxidants.
MCT OIL POWDER
Introduction & History:
Medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) are fats derived mainly from coconut and palm kernel oil. Their powdered form, made by binding to a carrier, is convenient for nutritional blends.
Molecular Function & Mechanism:
MCTs are rapidly absorbed and transported to the liver, where they are converted into ketones, providing fast-acting energy. They may also support satiety and fat metabolism.
Modern Use & Theory:
Added to protein powders for sustained energy, appetite control, and support for ketogenic or active lifestyles.
APPLE PECTIN POWDER
Introduction & History:
Pectin is a soluble fiber abundant in apples, historically used for digestive health and as a gelling agent.
Molecular Function & Mechanism:
Forms a gel-like substance in the gut, supporting digestive regularity, cholesterol balance, and feeding beneficial gut bacteria through prebiotic activity.
Modern Use & Theory:
Used for digestive health, satiety support, and cardiovascular benefits in functional blends.
SEA SALT
Introduction & History:
Sea salt is harvested by evaporating seawater and has been valued for culinary and health purposes since ancient times.
Molecular Function & Mechanism:
Provides sodium and trace minerals, supporting hydration, nerve transmission, and muscle contraction.
Modern Use & Theory:
Added to supplement blends for electrolyte balance, flavor, and mineral support.
STEVIA LEAF EXTRACT
Introduction & History:
Stevia (Stevia rebaudiana) is a South American plant used for centuries by indigenous peoples as a natural sweetener. Modern extracts concentrate steviol glycosides for sweetness without calories.
Molecular Function & Mechanism:
Activates sweet taste receptors without impacting blood sugar, making it ideal for calorie-conscious formulations.
Modern Use & Theory:
Provides natural, non-caloric sweetness in supplement powders.
SUNFLOWER LECITHIN
Introduction & History:
Lecithin is a natural emulsifier traditionally sourced from soy, but sunflower-derived lecithin has become a preferred alternative for allergen-free and non-GMO formulations.
Molecular Function & Mechanism:
Composed of phospholipids such as phosphatidylcholine, lecithin supports cell membrane health and emulsification of fats, improving solubility and absorption of ingredients.
Modern Use & Theory:
Used to improve texture, mixability, and nutrient bioavailability in powders, while contributing supportive phospholipids for cellular health.
SILICON DIOXIDE
Introduction & History:
Silicon dioxide, or silica, is a natural compound found in quartz and plant sources. It has been safely used in foods and supplements for decades.
Molecular Function & Mechanism:
Acts as an anticaking agent, preventing powders from clumping and ensuring consistent flow during production.
Modern Use & Theory:
Included in powdered supplements for stability, quality, and consistency.
