Creamy Avocado Protein Pasta

Gut smarter

High in protein thanks to the collagen bone broth and hemp seeds. Full of vitamins and minerals. The avocado base increases absorption of all the other ingredients. The perfect pasta base to enjoy with a protein source (with grilled chicken, it’s delish!).
