A pouch of the Mater Paneer (a hearty two servings) provides 30% of the daily value of iron thanks to functional ingredients like tofu, green peas, and cashews. Iron is the essential mineral required in the formation of red blood cells that transport oxygen to every single cell in your body.

When it comes to plant-based foods, all iron is found in its non-heme form which needs help from Vitamin C to be absorbed into the body. Tomatoes, an excellent source of Vitamin C, create the foundation for the rich gravy in our Paneer and provides over 3x the daily value.

Functional ingredients like miso, shiitake mushrooms, garlic, turmeric, and ginger can help support your gut health.

Curcumin is the active ingredient in turmeric, and is a potent antioxidant that not only reduces inflammation in the body, but may even enhance the body’s own antioxidant system. Since athletes have higher loads of oxidative stress, frequently eating foods high in antioxidants is important for recovery and restoration.
