Let’s Talk Supplements

You’ve probably noticed the new supplement line so let’s talk about what we have and why you may need to supplement. First and foremost, let’s remember that supplements are exactly THAT! Food first, supplement to fill the gaps!

Let’s go right down the line of what we have!

• Protein powder: I’m willing to bet MOST people are not getting enough protein. Do the math yourself and multiply 0.8 x your body weight. That is the MINIMUM amount of protein you should be eating. If you struggle to hit that then it is wise to supplement with a protein powder. Only 120 calories and 20 grams of protein! We have vegan and whey to accommodate different food sensitivities.
• Collagen: If you’re not supplementing with collagen then you are SERIOUSLY missing out. Collagen helps maintain elasticity and keeps our bones, joints and tendons STRONG. Collagen is not flavored and can sneak into any beverage. It dissolves beautifully into hot coffee or adds to a shake that you may already be drinking. Sometimes I add mine to a flavored Propel water and shake it up. An EASY 18 grams of protein and only 80 calories. It also does wonders for hair, skin and nails. If you want to stay youthful then take collagen.
• Greens are another wonderful supplement IF you don’t eat your veggies or have a colorful plate! There are 4-5 servings of fruits and veggies in just one scoop. The flavor is delicious too! Does NOT have the powdered broccoli taste like other greens.
• BCAAs or Branched-Chain Amino Acids, are the building blocks of protein. They aid in muscle recovery post-workout, reducing muscle soreness.
• Muscle Growth: Leucine, one of the three BCAAs, stimulates muscle protein synthesis, which is the process of making muscle. Energy Boost: During intense workouts, your body uses BCAAs for energy, helping you train harder for longer.

The taste testings of our new supplements have been a major hit! Give them a try!
