Plant-Based Meal Shakes

mēle's Free-From Shakes Can Be Quickly Made with Milk or Water

— January 25, 2019 — Lifestyle
mēle (pronounced like "meal") recently launched a plant-based line of meal shakes that are free from added sugar, dairy, GMOs, soy, preservatives and trans fats.

The all-new trio of meal replacement shakes are offered in varieties like the strawberry-based 'rawberry,' 'cocoa-nut' with organic cocoa and 'supergreen,' which contains organic wheatgrass and organic barley grass. Each of these formulas contains organic brown rice protein and organic pea protein to satisfy one's nutritional needs in the form of a beverage rather than a meal. To prepare these shakes, mēle recommends adding water or milk to a shaker bottle.

Previously, mēle introduced a whey-based blend but this new plant-based option will appeal to those who are seeking out alternative protein sources.
