MIKUNA is a plant-based protein powder brand that offers organic, vegan, natural, and dairy-free products. They provide a range of protein powders including Pure Chocho, Vanilla, and Cacao flavors. MIKUNA aims to help individuals maximize their performance and power their day like Mick Fanning, a 3-time World Surf Champion.

Chocho, the main ingredient in MIKUNA's products, is an ancient lupin that is grown at elevations of 11,000-14,000 feet in the Andes Mountains by Indigenous farmers. It is nutrient-dense and packed with protein, fiber, iron, and calcium. MIKUNA believes in regenerative agriculture and strives to make a positive impact on the environment through their practices.

The brand was founded by Ricky Echanique, a fifth-generation farmer from Ecuador who was looking for a clean source of plant-based nutrition. His journey led him back to Ecuador where he discovered Chocho and its incredible health benefits. Ricky felt inspired to share Chocho with the world while supporting local farmers and promoting fair trade.

MIKUNA's mission is centered around sustainability and making better choices for both people and the planet. They are committed to empowering farmers, educating consumers about the benefits of Chocho, and providing high-quality plant-based protein options.
