Q: What makes the protein in Koia "complete"?

Koia’s Proprietary Protein Blend combines brown rice, pea, and chickpea proteins. Individually, plant proteins can lack certain essential amino acids, but this smart trio complements each other perfectly—delivering all nine essential amino acids your body needs but can’t make on its own. That means you get a high-quality, complete protein source in every sip!

Q: Does the Cacao Bean flavor have caffeine?

The Cacao Bean shake is essentially caffeine-free. It uses real cocoa and cacao extracts for that rich chocolate taste, which naturally contain only trace amounts of caffeine—way too low to notice (unlike their Cold Brew Coffee variety, which packs a real caffeine kick).

Q: Does this shake need to be refrigerated?

Yes—Koia Protein Shakes are perishable, so they must stay refrigerated at all times (both before and after opening) to keep them fresh and safe to drink.

Q: Is Koia safe for people with nut allergies?

Unfortunately, no. The shakes are made with an almond milk base and produced in facilities that also handle other tree nuts. If you have a tree nut allergy (especially almonds), it’s best to skip Koia or check with your doctor first.

Q: How long does a Koia shake last after opening?

Once opened, consume it within 7–10 days while keeping it refrigerated (some sources note 3–5 days for peak freshness, but most labels and guidelines point to 7–10 days). Always give it a good shake before sipping, and if it smells off or looks unusual, toss it.
