I lost over 170 pounds with Mounjaro before finding out I was pregnant. I tried a LOT of products over that year, some good and some not so good. These are my favorite products that I'm reaching for again now that I've restarted post partum!

Protein options
I focus mainly on whole food protein sources, but on days when I'm not eating as much I try to have multiple sources of protein available to make sure I'm hitting my goals!
I drink protein coffee every morning and anything with whey protein doesn't sit well with me. My go-to has always been Fairlife, but I can't find the vanilla 30gm shakes anywhere! This has been a game changer, it doesn't upset my stomach and is SO go...
Nurri 30g Protein Shake, Vanilla, 11 fl oz, 12-pack
I am obsessed with the bare bones bones broth packets, you just add them to hot water and get a great source of protein and collagen when it's harder to eat. You can get larger containers, but I am a toddler Mom and having things I can grab quick mea...
Bare Bones Beef Bone Broth Instant Powder Mix 16 Pack
Another in the I need things to be quick and easy or I won't eat them, Oats Overnight are a huge win for me. I just add milk the night before and when I wake up I can eat it hot or cold! Pro tip, add Fairlife milk for an even bigger protein boost. Th...
Oats Overnight Ultimate Variety Pack - 16 Pack
I don't like Greek yogurt but I love the amount of protein in it. Enter Icelandic yogurt! I can eat it as is, but for my favorite treat I add a little Fairlife milk to this to thin it out a bit and add some mini chocolate chips. It is SO good!
Siggi's Icelandic Yogurt Variety Pack, 12 ct.
This is my OG protein booster, it is so good to drink by itself or mix it with coffee to make a protein mocha! I try to get most of my protein from whole foods or bone broth, but this helps get my daily number where it needs to be!
Fairlife Nutrition Plan Chocolate Bottles, 30g Protein, 12 pk./11.5 fl. oz.
Supplements
A few supplements I've found helpful!
These are life savers when you have sulfur burps or feel like food is just sitting in your stomach! I don't take them every day, just when I need them.
Zenwise Digestive Enzymes & Bromelain 180CT
This is only for use if you're having issues with constipation, but it is a life saver if you do! Definitely talk to your doctor if it's happening often, but for an occasional issue this is my go-to.
nbpure MagO7 - Natural Colon Cleanse & Detox
This has been so great for keeping my energy up and keeping my hair feeling thick and shiny! It is both a multi vitamin and a biotin supplement in one and I am in love.

Hydration
Staying hydrated can be a challenge, so anything that helps is a win!
Body armor in general is my favorite non-water drink. They have low and zero sugar options if you want them, but I don't do low carb and this flavor is by far superior to all others. Great way to keep your electrolytes up when your food intake is dow...
BODYARMOR Sports Drink Strawberry Banana
Getting in enough water can be even tougher than normal, so having a huge water bottle has been super helpful. I love that this one has a straw and a pour spout option!
AQUAFIT 64oz Water Bottle w/ Time Marker
These packets can be added to a bottle of water, making them great for on the go! I find they're a bit strong so I usually use half for a plastic water bottle or a whole one my stanley.
