My Favorite Things
All my faves to keep me in perfect alignment
Shakeology
I don't even know where to begin when it comes to listing the benefits of Shakeology. Besides the fact that one serving of Shakeology is the equivalent of six salads, Shakeology also contains prebiotics, probiotics, and digestive enzymes that have transformed the health of my digestive system. And, since the gut produces 95% of the body's serotonin (also known as The Happy Chemical) It is pretty important to keep everything running smoothly.
It is also made up of a blend of 70 whole superfoods, was able to replace my multivitamin and probotic, is actually filling, and provides me with incredible, sustained energy throughout the day.
As someone who has worked in and out of gyms for years, I have tried every powder and supplement under the sun, and what sets Shakeology apart is that there are no GMOs, soy, artificial sweeteners, flavors, or preservatives. And the ingredients that make it into every Shakeology bag are sourced from around the world, with the creators of Shakeology regularly visiting their farmers to test the soil and ensure that the best farming practices are in place.
Price: $130 for 30 servings, which, if you calculate 30 days of breakfasts, vitamins, and probiotics, is incredible and worth it.
Energize
I call this stuff my Go Go Unicorn Juice because it truly is magic! If you have a workout to do then this is your best friend. It comes in three (naturally derived) flavors: Lemon, Mixed Berry, and Fruit Punch (my personal favorite)
Price: $50 for 40 servings
Power Greens
So, little known fact: I think that a good poop and a healthy, working digestive system are the two best things on the planet, and power greens helps me to achieve BOTH. Power Greens is made from cucumber, kale, celery, match, spinach, and chlorella, and each serving has the equivalent of one cup of green veggies - with no artificial colors, flavors, sweeteners, or preservatives. Best part is? When mixed with my daily Shakeology, I don't even taste it!
Price: $35 for 20 servings
Recover
One downside to working out? Sore muscles. But with the Beachbody recover formula I not only help stave off soreness, but I also aid in the rebuilding and repairing of the muscles I've worked! It comes in two flavors: chocolate and orange (which tastes like a creamsicle and is f*cking delicious!) And the chocolate also has a plant-based option for those who are dairy free.
Price: $69.96 for 20 servings
Beachbar
I am someone who always forgets to bring food when I'll need it. I have had many a day where I don't eat and by the time I have food I am STARVING and eat way more than feels comfortable. These bars are delicious, contain protein, and are low in sugar so you don't crash. They come in three flavors: Chocolate Peanut Butter, Chocolate Cherry Almond (my favorite), And the new plant-based Chocolate Almond.
Price: $79.60 for 2 boxes of 15 bars each
Collagen
I love to multi-task and I hate to take vitamins, so this is another amazing addition to my daily shake. A collagen supplement promotes amazing benefits (I have definitely noticed a change in my hair, and if you know me, you know my hair is my baby) And it's completely flavorless, so you can add it straight to your shake without compromising flavor.
Price: $34.95 for one tub
