When it comes to your morning cup, keeping up with your health goals, our Core Strength has you covered. It’s a low-FODMAP, non-bloating, plant-based protein powder that’s as clean as it is effective.
Each serving packs 20 grams of plant protein (pea, hemp, and pumpkin seed for all 22 amino acids), plus a gut-friendly blend of flax seed, probiotics, and digestive enzymes to help everything go down easily. No weird fillers, artificial sweeteners, or shady extras; just pure protein power that pairs perfectly with your coffee or your favorite GLP-1 plan.
Simply mix two scoops into 8 oz. of your brew or smoothie any time of day. (PSA: If you’re adding it to hot coffee, the heat can reduce those enzyme perks, so grab a Flatter Me+ for extra gut support if you like it steamy.)
Coffee Q&A: Spilling the Beans
Q: Is adding protein to coffee actually good for you?
A: Yes! It helps you feel full longer and keeps blood sugar more stable.
Q: Can I drink these every day?
A: Totally. Just watch your total caffeine intake—love your adrenals, babe.
Q: Why Core Strength in coffee?
A: Each scoop gives you 20g of clean, plant-based protein plus digestive enzymes, perfect for post-gym or busy mornings.
Q: Wait, will hot coffee ruin it?
A: A little! Hot coffee can change the enzyme action, so if you want the full gut benefit, go iced or pop a Flatter Me+ alongside.
