Meet Chocho, the regenerative plant protein from the Andes Mountains that’s changing the way we think about food. With 20 grams of clean plant protein per serving (more than quinoa!), plus vitamins, calcium, plant fiber, and 9/9 essential amino acids, Mikuna Chocho Superfood Protein is vegan, gluten-free, non-isolate, and paleo and keto friendly. Oh, and it isn’t just for smoothies. Our protein can also be used as a gluten-free flour alternative for baking, adding healthy protein to savory sauces...it’s super delicious so you can add it to pretty much anything. Most importantly, Chocho is grown using regenerative farming practices that create positive global change. We hear the word “sustainable” a lot, but we believe that what the world needs is to get better—not to “sustain” or stay the same. The cultivation of Chocho supports local communities, enriches the soil, and can actually help reverse climate change, which is something we’re really excited about. From the Andes to your front door, we’re proud to create plant-based products that are rooted in regeneration, and by simply buying this bag, you’re joining us on the #RegenerativeRevolution (go you!) to make our impact on the planet a positive one. Let’s do food better. Together.

- Paving the Way with Regenerative Agriculture We work with a network of farmers to grow Chocho in the high elevations of the Ecuadorian Andes Mountains. The crop is renowned for its regenerative properties and ability to thrive on rainwater alone. As it grows, Chocho pulls nitrogen deep into the soil, creating a healthier, fertile foundation for future crops.
- Let's Do Food Better, Together: Ricky Echanique is the Founder of Mikuna, a Certified B corporation that is deeply connected to regenerative agriculture. On a mission to transform the future of food, nourishing both people and the planet, our goal is to turn the clean, plant-based diet into a nutritious journey, free of anti-nutrients and the long ingredient lists often associated with lesser protein powders.
