mbg tip

If you're a chocolate lover, reach for the chocolate mbg beauty & gut collagen+ instead. This rich powder is made with organic cocoa and sweetened with organic monk fruit, making it just sweet enough with zero added sugar. You can even use it to make hot chocolate or an iced chocolate shaken espresso in the warmer months.
