Overview

Basil is a warm-weather herb grown for its aromatic leaves. Often used as a garnish, it adds delicious flavors to dishes. Basil is a source of Vitamins A, C, and K.

Conditions

For soil, use a potting mix that’s tailored for vegetables and herbs. Basil thrives in warm temperatures, optimum being 70–85°F. For the best quality leaves, provide basil with full sun (6 or more hours of direct sunlight) and consistent moisture (don’t let the topsoil become dry to the touch).

Planting

Because basil prefers warm growing temperatures, it’s recommended to plant seeds outdoors when the ground is warm. Use our grow calendar tool to find specific dates for your region! Seeds germinate in 5–10 days. Basil can be planted outdoors directly or started indoors then transplanted:

Plant seed outdoors (recommended): Plant seeds 1/4" deep, 2-3 seeds per inch. Firm the soil over the seeds. Thinning is not necessary, but a final spacing of 4-8" apart produces healthy, full plants.

Transplant: Plant seeds indoors in starter pots 6 weeks prior to transplanting outdoors. Plant 1/4" deep and keep at 70°F (21°C) for best germination. Transplant outdoors when seedlings have 3-4 sets of leaves, spacing at 4-8" apart.

Care

After the seedlings have produced their first six leaves, prune (removing a part of a plant to encourage growth) or cut the stem above the second set. This encourages the plants to start branching, resulting in more leaves for harvest. Every time a branch has six to eight leaves, repeat pruning the branches back to their first set of leaves. After about 6 weeks, pinch off the center shoot to prevent early flowering. If flowers do grow, just cut them off. 

Pests and Disease

Basil is not as afflicted with pests and disease as other plants, but it is prone to nutrient deficiencies. There are three reasons why basil yellows: too much water, too little sun, and/or not enough nutrients. If basil leaves are yellowing, temporarily stop watering, move the plant to a sunnier location, and feed it with a balanced organic fertilizer.

Harvest

Begin light harvesting after plants have become established at 6-8” tall. Harvest in the early morning, when leaves are at their juiciest. A full harvest should be completed just before the plants start to flower. Leaves are easily bruised when picking, so handle carefully. The best method for storing basil is freezing in an airtight, resealable plastic bag. Freezing will prevent the plant from losing a good portion of its flavor.

The Best Protein Drink I've Ever Had!
Flavor Name: Chocolate, Size: 14 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)
These are hands down my favorite protein shakes. I’ve tried quite a few different brands over the years, but I honestly don’t drink any other protein drinks now besides these. The chocolate flavor is absolutely delicious and tastes much better than most protein shakes I’ve had. They’re smooth, not chalky whatsoever like other protein drinks, and have a great balance of sweetness without tasting artificial. The high protein content is also a huge plus for post-workout recovery or a quick meal on busy days. I always keep these stocked in my fridge and restock every other week!

Delicious!
Flavor Name: Chocolate, Size: 14 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)
I’ve tried a lot of protein shakes and this one is hands down my favorite choice. It tastes like a delicious glass of chocolate milk, without being overly sweet the way some other protein drinks are, and the texture is perfect - neither chalky nor too thick. Some folks don’t like the sugar in the ingredients list but for me, 42g of protein in 230kcal is a godsend for meeting my daily macros. And it’s lactose free so zero issues with digestion. I use a little in my morning coffee as a coffee creamer and drink the rest with breakfast - a great and easy way to start my day with a good amount of protein.

Smooth, chocolate milk flavor with a massive protein punch
Flavor Name: Chocolate, Size: 14 Fl Oz (Pack of 12), Flavor Name: Chocolate, Size: 14 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)
The Context: I’ve tried a wide variety of protein supplements over the years, and many of them are a struggle to get down due to a thick, chalky texture or a chemical aftertaste. I picked up the Core Power Elite 42g shakes to use as a convenient meal replacement on busy days, and they have quickly become my go-to. The Performance: Flavor and Texture: The standout feature here is the taste. It genuinely tastes like high-quality chocolate milk rather than a supplement. It is remarkably smooth and lacks that dry, chalky finish that usually plagues high-protein drinks. Satiety: With 42g of protein in a single 14oz bottle, these are incredibly effective at keeping you full. When used as a meal replacement, I’ve found that they keep hunger at bay for significantly longer than lighter shakes or snacks. Convenience: The 12-pack is a great value, and the bottles are perfect for a grab-and-go lifestyle. They don't require any mixing or shaking to get rid of clumps, which makes them ideal for the car or the office. Nutritional Profile: For the amount of protein you're getting, the calorie count and sugar levels are well-balanced, making it easy to fit into a variety of nutritional plans without feeling like a "cheat" meal. Pros: Great Taste: No chalky texture or medicinal aftertaste. High Protein Content: 42g is a significant amount that helps with satiety. Solid Value: Purchasing the 12-pack is much more cost-effective than buying individual bottles. Cons: Thickness: Because it is milk-based, it is a bit richer than a water-based shake, which some might find heavy if they aren't used to it. The Verdict: If you want the benefits of a high-protein supplement but hate the typical "protein shake" experience, these are the answer. They are delicious, filling, and convenient. Whether you're using them for recovery or just as a quick meal replacement, they are one of the best-tasting options on the market.

Great Protein Source
Flavor Name: Chocolate, Size: 14 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)
Low calories, tastes awesome, good ingredients, convenient to throw in my backpack because it is resealable and doesn’t leak. Price is a bit high, however, the protein content is some of the highest I’ve seen. I drink at least 2 of these a day and have a case pack set up for auto renew every 2 weeks.
