Why Jo developed the Motherhood Blend
As mums, our minds and bodies are put through the wringer. Pregnancy, childbirth, sleep deprivation and the general relentlessness of motherhood can take a toll. A big one. Sometimes our brain has so many tabs open, we find ourselves rocking an empty pram, forgetting appointments and spending way too much time searching for car keys. With six kids between them, our founders Fran and Jo have been there and got the spew-stained t-shirt.
After years of researching and finetuning, our Motherhood Blend represents the latest advancements in improving brain function the natural way. Add it to your morning smoothie, include it in a baking recipe, or simply mix it with your preferred milk to give your brain the boost it needs to deal with the daily grind. Whether you’re preparing or recuperating from birth, running after a toddler or dealing with a petulant teen, our Motherhood Blend will help you stay fueled, focussed and (almost completely) sane.
Serving Size
Each 400g packet contains 20 servings. If you are feeling tired and drained, Jo recommends taking 1 or 2 tablespoons a day for optimum results and to help build your body strength and nutritional resources back up after pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding or stressful periods in life. Alternatively, you can save your super power powder for the days you need a boost.
Ingredients*
Franjo's Motherhood Blend combines the best traditional and new superfoods to optimally support your mental and physical wellbeing.
Ārepa Nootropic Powder (new clinically tested formula for your brain)
(Neuroberry® Blackcurrant, Pine Bark Extract, L-Theanine)
Formulated by a world-renowned neuroscientist, this is the ultimate brain food and based on decades of research. This clinically tested formula supports cognitive function, reduces mental fatigue and enhances immunity. NZ blackcurrants rich in vitamin C are combined with a rare amino acid found in green tea and an ultra-pure extract of bark from NZ pine trees.
Faba Bean Protein
This new Australian plant-based protein assists with muscle recovery and repair which is especially important after pregnancy and birth. Packed with essential amino acids, highly soluble and neutral in taste and colour, it’s no surprise faba bean protein is in the superfood spotlight.
Cordyceps Militaris Extract
Cordyceps Militaris is an adaptogen sourced from fungi that can help improve your stamina, memory and libido – three things that tend to go AWOL when you’re growing and looking after babies or young kids. High in antioxidants, studies have found it can reduce cell damage, fight inflammation, and improve both heart and liver function. Cordyceps has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries and is becoming increasingly popular as people discover its many health benefits.
