Your taste buds may be familiar with the oddly orange-hued, chocolate-peanut butter candy bar that crumbles to bits when you bite into it. Your body, however, is not as accustomed to it. With corn syrup, hydrogenated oils and preservatives crowding the ingredients list, that drugstore dessert is not up to snuff with your active body’s fuel requirements. On the plus side, plant-based protein, maca powder and creamy organic peanut butter do make the cut. And when you mix them all together in a shake, you get a strikingly similar flavor combination – minus the sugar crash.
