Winter comes with its own collection of smells and tastes, but there’s something about the darker days that pushes a couple straight to the forefront: mocha and mint.
For me, mocha season pretty much translates to drinking way too many coffee drinks in an attempt to shake off the winter doldrums. And chocolate–mint candies seem to multiply around my house this time of year. (Seriously… someone please come take them away.)
But while I don’t exactly need help indulging, it’s always nice when these flavors come together for something that’s actually good for you—and in this case, also good for the planet. Gnarly Nutrition’s new Protect Our Winters x Gnarly Mint Mocha Whey manages both.
We’ve reviewed Gnarly products before, so feel free to dig into those details if you want the full backstory. For this launch, here’s what’s inside the bag:
- 25g of protein per serving, sourced from grass-fed cows
- Digestive enzymes and probiotics to support healthy lactose digestion and improve absorption
- Uncaffeinated, so you can use it morning, evening, or post-run without the jitters
- Easy to mix: 1/3 cup into 10–12 oz of water, or toss it into your favorite smoothie
A big part of this launch isn’t just what’s in the powder—it’s where part of your purchase goes. $5 from every bag is donated to Protect Our Winters (POW), a nonprofit rallying the outdoor community to safeguard the winter environments we all depend on. POW works with athletes, industry partners, and everyday outdoor enthusiasts to advocate for climate-forward policies and preserve the places and seasons we play in.
Gnarly’s new Mint Mocha Whey Protein comes in a 20-serving bag and retails for $62.95.
