If you guys haven't heard, I just came out with a strawberry flavor to add to my line of

0:05.9

digestive support protein powder. This new flavor has actually been in the works for two years.

0:14.3

I know. Two years seems like quite a long time to develop just one flavor of protein powder.

0:20.8

But with the elements of 2021,

0:24.1

still in quote recovery mode from the pandemic, as well as finding the right ingredients to create

0:30.4

such a robust strawberry flavor without any natural flavorings, artificial sweeteners,

0:37.0

as well as the natural pink color,

0:40.6

took trial and error over a long period of time. And since I am very picky about every

0:47.1

ingredient that goes into any product with my name on it, I had to make sure every ingredient

0:53.4

1:38.4

powder, which makes up the flavor of the protein. No natural flavors in there, you guys.

1:46.6

And pure beet powder,

1:53.7

which actually gives the protein powder a pink hue. The strawberry powder just didn't give any pink color at all, surprisingly, when we tested it over and over. Guys, we went through countless

2:00.1

variations, ratios of ingredients to balance out the

2:03.4

flavor and sweetness without making it too sweet. So much went into this new digestive support

2:10.2

strawberry protein. But we finally got it, you guys. We finally got it and it's now available for you to try yourself and add to the

collection of my vanilla and cacao digestive support protein. So grab a tub or two before it sells out
