We made the drink we wanted after the gym.

We're Kaveh and James. We train, and we're tired of the only option after being a protein shake.

Those drinks are loud and over-flavored, with long ingredient lists and a whole identity wrapped around the workout. None of it felt like something you wanted. It felt like something you were supposed to have.

So we started with the flavor. We picked matcha and taro because they are what we actually order, and we built the rest of the drink around getting them right. Real milk and whey protein do the quiet work behind them. There is real protein in every bottle and it matters to us, but it was never the reason to drink one. The reason is that you finish it and feel better.

That's us. Here's the drink.
