Her mom’s turmeric shots were famous, but they definitely did not taste great! This inspired Minal to create Pirq: clean, delicious, and nutritious products that everyone can enjoy. From smooth, creamy, and indulgent plant-based protein shakes, to juicy, refreshing hydration mixes, every sip is packed with wellness benefits and flavor, to support you and pirq up your taste buds.
