My favorite bowl of theirs is the Green Goliath as they throw organic plant protein into the blend, but the Cheat Day is a great option, too, if you’re a big fan of Nutella.
These Nuts is my second favorite as it comes with peanut butter, sliced almonds, and hemp seeds!

Yum!
Alternatively, if you’re a fan of spirulina, opt for the Kaiser, or if you love pitaya, then go for the Magic.
