Favorite Electrolyte Drinks
The best electrolyte/sports drinks/mixes in my opinion of course. I try for salty over sweet when it comes to hydration but sometimes enjoy a touch of sweet.
These taste great and are sweetened with cane sugar. Their blend is well researched and effective in my opinion.
Best Electrolyte Powder, Fast Hydration, Best Endurance Drink
Everything you need in this kit. Electrolytes, 87 Ionic Ocean Minerals, B Vitamin Complex, Antioxidants. Versitile. No sweetners, period. Love this.
Ocean Electrolyte Kit
I love BUBS Naturals in general. Great story and mission. I love these hydration drinks even though they are sweetened with stevia.
Hydration Powder | Natural Electrolyte Mix
Matcha with the added benefit of electrolytes. It is unsweetened and ceremonial grade. I love making iced matcha lattes with this post-run.
Hydration Matcha Instant Sticks
What's better than matcha & electrolytes??? Coffee & electrolytes! No added sugars. I love my iced hydration lattes after a run, whether it's hot or cold outside.
Hydration Coffee Instant Sticks
This one is pretty tasty. It tastes like juicy pineapple with 10 oz. of water; I like to dilute sweetened drinks with more water than that though; kinda taste Pina colada-ish when the water is doubled. Like it pretty good. Sweetened with stevia.
Active Hydration 18 Sticks
I've only just recently tried Yesly for the first time and only the Black Cherry. I thought it was pretty tasty for a canned still water. It was actually fantastic in a chocolate smoothie; a chocolate black cherry post-run smoothie that is.
Yesly Hydrating Electrolyte Vitamin Water, 16 Fl Oz
Protein Powders
Slowly finding protein powders that are gentle on my gut and have a minimum of sweeteners in general.
I really like this protein. It has no sweeteners in it. It is unflavored and can be used in lots of recipes or by itself of course.
Unflavored Whey Isolate Protein Powder | Promix Nutrition®
I was hesitant to try this pea protein milk powder because I was thinking, peas, really, but I am so glad I decided to try it. I love this in smoothies and cereal. And best of all; just one ingredient! No sugars, just pea powder. Yellow peas to be sp...
Pea Milk Powder
I love that this slim Protein Coffee is nutrient packed and completely customizable; it is unsweetened. Drink it like coffee, add it to smoothies, oatmeal, however you like.
Slim Protein Coffee
Really great post-run blended with a banana and frozen cherries. The protein:carb ration is decent. Sweetened with stevia.
Active Protein
Hands down my favorite protein coffee. I cannot believe how much I wound up liking this instant coffee protein; so good!
Instant Coffee Protein Powder
Lots of cookie pieces you see. This is great in oat milk by itself and I'm pancakes and yogurt. Lactose free. Sweetened with monk fruit.
Cookies and Cream Legion Whey+ | Grass-Fed Whey Protein Powder
Love this apple pie protein. The spices are really nice and it is so creamy. Delicious. Lactose free. Sweetened with monk fruit.
Apple Pie Legion Whey+ | Grass-Fed Whey Protein Powder
Enjoyable. Thick and creamy. Reminiscent of fruit loop milk kinda.
Fruity Cereal Legion Whey+ | Grass-Fed Whey Protein Powder
Energy Supplements
Here are some of my favorite more natural energy supplements. Energy drinks can be found my favorite drinks list.
Natural, made in the USA, Veteran owned. Sweetened with stevia. I've tried black cherry and grape and as of right now, my favorite is black cherry. Mix it with a good Seltzer like Boylan's Classic Seltzer for best results, in my opinion anyway.
ENERGY FORMULA
Collagen Supplements
Collagen is a rather new area for me but here are the favorites out of the ones I've tried.
This unflavored collagen peptides from BUBS is very versatile. I love to add to my coffee and smoothies the best. No added sugars is a major positive.
Collagen Peptides
Supplements of the capsule and gummy variety
I try to get as much as I can out of my food but there are somethings that just aren't feasible and need supplementing to get in. Here are my favorites.
These are sweetened with sugar. They actually tastes good and make getting down some nutrient dense ACV so much gentler on this GERD of mine.
Apple Cider Vinegar Gummies | BUBS Naturals
Hands down the best joint supplement I've taken personally. I've only tried a few and stuck with the one I love the best for many years now. I can tell a noticeable difference between taking them consistently and not. I don't believe this has sugar i...
Triple Strength MSM
I read that studies show that some 97% of people don't get enough of these b vitamins despite their importance and I can believe it but definitely do your own research. I recently started taking these complex b vitamins again and hope to keep them in...
Essential B Vitamins Supplement | Legion Vitamin B Complex
Supplements of the powder variety.
Some of these are most likely available in capsule or gummy form but I wanted to separate the powders from the rest.
Soooo many reasons to add ashwagandha to your lifestyle. I used to use gummies and capsules but I do like Eleven TLC powders so gave this a try. Best for me in smoothies.
eleven TLC, Organic Ashwagandha Root Powder (120 G) |60 Servings
This blue spirulina is so much better than the green varieties in my opinion; the flavor is more mild and blends well with my smoothies and whatnot. Definitely recommend this nutrient dense, beautiful, vibrant, superfood powder.
eleven TLC, Blue Spirulina Organic Powder, Superfood, Pre + Post Workout 35 g, 35 Servings
All about the greens!
I don't get all the greens I need in on a daily basis, especially outside of garden season. These here are my favorite ways to help increase my green intake.
I actually drink this one straight up. I was surprised I liked it but like it I do. This one is sweetened with stevia.
Greens & Superfoods
I choose to get the unflavored so I could customize any way I desire. I drank it straight the first time and it tastes like SuperGreens which is what it is lol. I like it much better blended with banana and whatever else I wanna add. No sweeteners at...
Ormus SuperGreens
Sleepy Time
Since I've been using the Rest liquid, though I need more time to sleep, my deep sleep has actually improved and that helps in itself. My favorite flavor of the 3 available at the time is the Lemon Ginger ... No chamomile in these thankfully because ...
