Being a flight attendant, it’s often hard to eat healthy. Sometimes I meal prep and carry my food with me, but a lot of times I am lazy and only want to pack nonperishable items that I don’t need a cooler or icepacks for – because carrying more items than I need gets heavy and I like to travel light! That’s why when I discovered Koia Plant Based Protein Shake, I became obsessed!
The nutrition facts:
Calories: 180
Protein: 20g
Fat: 6g
Carbs: 12g
Sugar: 3g
Fiber: 6g
It’s also vegan!
This protein shake does not need to be refrigerated, so I just put them in my bag before each trip and then when I get to my hotel, I usually put them in the hotel room fridge overnight (I think they taste better cold) and drink them every morning. I also drink them almost everyday when I’m not working as well. I like to bring them to the gym with me and drink it on my walk home as a quick post-workout meal.
I currently like to work late flights and I almost always wake up too late to get free hotel breakfasts, so this is a perfect alternative. I’ve tried every flavor and Cacao Bean is my favorite. If you aren’t a chocolate person, vanilla is a close second. I have liked every flavor, but this is how I would rank them:
- Cacao Bean
- Vanilla Bean
- Coffee
- Chocolate Banana
They sell this brand at Whole Foods, but you can only get the shelf stable version of the protein shake on Amazon – I get it with subscribe and save every 2 weeks. It is delicious, filling, healthy, and convenient!
