How to make a high protein cilantro sauce?

  • Zest and Juice of 2 Limes
  • 1 tbsp. Olive Oil
  • 1/2 tsp. Salt

How to make crispy shrimp and poblano tacos?

  1. Preheat oven to 425F. Line a large baking pan with parchment paper. Set aside. 
  2. Add the tablespoon of olive oil to a large skillet over medium high heat. 
  3. In a large bowl, toss together all the shrimp ingredients until well-combined. Add the content to the heated skillet. Cook for 6-10 minutes, depending on thickness of shrimp, until fully cooked. 
  4. Warm up the corn tortillas over a griddle until pliable, about 15-30 seconds each side. 
  5. Add the corn tortillas to the prepared pan. Generously sprinkle the shredded cheese over the tortillas. 
  6. Add the shrimp and poblano mix on one side of each tortilla. Fold the tortillas over, sticking a toothpick to keep secure if needed. 
  7. Brush the top of the tacos with the remaining olive oil. Bake for 8-12 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown. Enjoy warm with the sauce on the side and BUBBL’R Blood Orange Mango Mingl’r for a refreshing drink!

How to store leftover shrimp tacos? How to reheat leftover tacos?

Store any leftover shrimp tacos in an airtight container in the fridge up to 2 days.

To reheat, simply place on a pan lined with parchment paper to heat up in the oven at 400F for 8-12 minutes, until fully warmed and crispy again.

Where does the natural caffeine in BUBBL'R come from?

The natural caffeine in BUBBL’R comes from guarana seed extract.

What vitamins does BUBBL'R provide?

  • Each can of BUBBL'R contains 450mcg of Vitamin A (50% of recommended daily value)
  • Each can also is packed to the brim with Vitamin B

Why are B vitamins important?

There are four types of B vitamins that each can of BUBBL'R contains:

  • Niacin (B3) which helps improve cholesterol levels and boosts brain function.
  • Pantothenic Acid (B5) which plays a critical role in red blood cell creation and maintaining a healthy digestive tract.
  • Pyridoxine (B6) helps the body make several neurotransmitters and hormones, which improve brain function and mood.
  • Cobalamin (B12) assists in the regulation of the nervous system and also helps maintain energy levels.

Other protein alternative for the shrimp:

  • Chicken
  • Steak
  • Tofu
