Fullness that has staying power
This meal is designed to feel substantial, so finishing it can feel like the meal is complete rather than the start of an evening of grazing.
Notice: fullness 2–3 hours later
Steadier energy
Feel fueled, not flattened

Notice: energy 1–3 hours later
Digestive comfort
A portion that works for you

Notice: comfort + portion
More staying power
