The founders of Roots ‘n Shoots believe in providing the cleanest and meanest tasting protein powder that money can buy. They make sure to use only the highest quality, ethically sourced vegan ingredients to make sure that their products are top-notch. 

We sampled each flavour of Roots ‘n Shoots protein powders, and thoroughly enjoyed every one. We found them extremely versatile, they were great in shakes, smoothies, pancakes and even desserts. Because of how easy they are to incorporate in recipes, it is easier than ever to include some extra protein in day to day life. 

Our favourite flavour has got to be salted caramel, this was especially delicious mixed with some dairy-free ice cream and plant milk to create an incredible dessert shake. We could not recommend Roots ‘n Shoots more if you are looking for a protein boost.

You can even use Roots ‘n Shoots to create protein-packed desserts. This gluten-free protein chocolate brownie recipe can be found on Roots ‘n Shoot’s blog.
