I love so many of their flavors but if you’re new to Built I suggest: chocolate milkshake, strawberry, cookie dough chunk, and salted caramel as great places to start!
Build Your Own Box
I eat a Floura bar daily to help make sure I’m getting enough fiber (something most Americans need more of!). My favorite are the brownie batter and new mint chip, but I also enjoy the blueberry, brambleberry, and mango!
Floura Daily Fiber Bars
Creatine is a super useful supplement for everyone, but especially when you’re taking a medication that makes it difficult to consume much. It also helps with strength and muscle recovery, which are also super important to maintain on a GLP-1
Unflavored Creatine Powder - Optimum Nutrition | Ulta Beauty
Because it can be hard to eat a lot on a GLP-1, a food, encompassing multi-vitamin is key. I like this one for not making me feel nauseated.
OLLY Ultra Strength Women's Multi + Omega-3 Daily Vitamin Softgels - 60ct: Zinc 375mg, Unflavored, Gluten-Free
A good probiotic is important when you’re taking a medication that’s known to be hard on many people’s stomachs. As someone who also struggles with IBS, a probiotic has been part of my routine for years!
Nature Made Ultra Strength Digestive Probiotic Gummies for Women and Men - Raspberry & Cherry - 42ct
To maintain muscle while on a GLP-1, you need to work out. To work out, you need to get good rest; magnesium glycinate helps with that, so I take 400 mg nightly.
Nature Made High Absorption Magnesium Glycinate 200 mg per serving, Magnesium Supplement Capsules - 60ct: Gluten-Free
I mix a full serving into my coffee every morning and never notice a difference! Collagen is not a complete protein, so you’ll need to be consuming other options to reap the full benefits.
Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides Unflavored Powder - 20oz: Dietary Supplement with 20,000mg per Serving

Oatmeal is another great option for helping keep the fiber intake high. This one also has flax seeds and provides 4 grams of protein!
(2 pack) Better Oats Maple & Brown Sugar, Instant, Steel Cut Oatmeal, Hearty 10 Packets, 15.1 oz Box
I add peanut butter to my oatmeal for an additional 7g of protein and 3 more grams of fiber. This new option from Jif has even less sugar than the original “Simply” version!
Jif Simply Creamy Peanut Butter Spread, Lightly Sweetened, 15-oz Jar
I like the simplicity, flavors, and wide availability of Chobani creamers. Since I take both creatine and collagen in my morning coffee, it’s important that it’s a tasty ritual I look forward to!
