My Favorite Brands to Use in this Recipe

  1. Artisana Organic Cashew Butter: Artisana Organic Cashew Butter is made from only 100% certified organic cashews, ensuring that you’re consuming a product free from harmful pesticides and synthetic chemicals. This is especially important when prioritizing clean eating and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.Many nut butters are loaded with unnecessary additives like sugar, palm oil, and salt. Artisana keeps it simple with just one ingredient: cashews. This means you get pure, unaltered cashew goodness with no fillers or artificial ingredients.
  2. Just Ingredients Vanilla Protein Powder: My favorite protein brand! Rich and creamy vanilla bean, all-natural protein powder made with four different protein sources and flavored without artificial sweeteners or sugar alcohols. Made with non-denatured 100% grass-fed non-denatured whey from New Zealand. Unlike conventional protein powders that often contain artificial flavors, sweeteners, fillers, and preservatives, Just Ingredients prioritizes simple, whole-food ingredients. Each product is carefully formulated with recognizable components, ensuring you’re putting clean and nourishing fuel into your body.
