UB Super nutritional shake founder, Scott Kanyok, wanted to promote his own healing with better nutrition after being struck by a box truck while bicycling and almost dying. After 4 years of effort the UB Super shake was born. UB Super is a protein superfood nutritional shake made from the highest quality real ingredients found in nature. It is available in both plant-based and grass-fed, pasture raised whey formulas and offers 2 flavors: chocolate or vanilla. The plant-based protein smoothie is their latest product, comes in 3 flavors, and contains no added sugar. Scott breaks down the products and talks about how the ingredients are sourced. We also talk about his upcoming trip to Kauai to celebrate the big 5-0, meditation, and how he recently adopted a plant based diet.
