Whether you came here because you LOVE Ube or clicked on this post because you're wondering what the heck Ube is — you've come to the right place.
Ube is a purple yam (or sweet potato) originally from the Philippines. It has a slightly nutty, vanilla taste and has become an increasingly popular root veggie in recent years.
This creamy, sweet purple drink infuses so well with Sports Research Collagen — you'll want to reach for it all week long!
