START HERE (My Daily Essentials)
If you’re not sure where to start, these are the ones I use daily. Simple, easy to stick to, and make the biggest difference.
Quality non-flavoured Creatine for brain and muscle health. One scoop in your morning coffee and smoothie.
Micronised Creatine Powder | Optimum Nutrition UK
Place a scoop of this in your morning coffee, add to smoothies or even soup!
Collagen Peptides
I don’t eat fish of any kind so having these in my life is a must to ensure I get all the benefits to care for my joints and brain health.
Essential Omega-3 Softgels
This is my go-to protein, but I always use the unflavoured version. It means I can add it to anything, coffee, smoothies, yoghurt, even soups, without it affecting the taste. Makes hitting my protein so much easier without overthinking it.
Whey Protein Powder | Award-Winning Protein
EASY PROTEIN (Without Overthinking It)
This is how I add protein into my day without making shakes or overcomplicating things, just adding it into what I’m already eating.

Whey Protein Powder | Award-Winning Protein
This is another protein option I use alongside my usual. It’s a nice alternative if you want something different, and I like having options depending on what I feel like that day.
Protein Powder
ENERGY & PERFORMANCE
These help me stay energised, support strength, and make workouts feel easier - especially on busy days.
On busy mornings or before a run, I don’t always feel like eating — this is my go-to. I don’t really use it as a meal replacement, more as something quick when I know I need fuel but don’t want a full meal.
Diet Meal 360 - GOLD Innovation | Meal Replacements for Weight Loss
I add electrolytes to my first water of the day for hydration and energy, especially around workouts or busy days.
Free Soul Hydrate Electrolyte Powder
SLEEP & RELAXATION
These help me wind down, sleep better, and actually recover - which makes everything else feel easier.
Magnesium + Zinc has become a non-negotiable for me. It really helps me wind down in the evenings, improves my sleep quality, and I’ve noticed less muscle soreness after workouts too. Such a simple addition that makes a big difference.
Zinc and Magnesium Capsules | Essential Minerals
These are seriously GOOD!! I take 2 before bedtime to relax my over active mind. Take them when you know you’ll feel stressed - morning routine trying to get the kids out of the door, at the airport or before a big presentation.
Calm L-Theanine | Natural Stress Support
I use ashwagandha to help with stress and switching off, especially when life feels busy. This is a more natural option, which I like for everyday use to feel calmer and more balanced.
High-Potency Organic Ashwagandha Tablets
WELLNESS & FEELING GOOD
These are the extras I use for overall wellbeing - skin, joints, gut health, and just feeling better day to day.
Have this on its own as it tastes great, or mixed with a smoothie. It’s packed with pre & probiotics, all your key vitamins & minerals, beauty & superfood greens! 🥬
Shreddy Supergreen Powder
This is my go-to when I want something quick and easy. It’s already in liquid form so there’s no mixing - just grab and go. Perfect for busy mornings or when you want something simple to stay consistent.
Premium Marine Collagen Liquid Supplement
ALTERNATIVES I ALSO USE
I’ve linked a few alternatives I also use or keep as backups - just in case my usual ones aren’t available.
If my usual creatine isn’t available, this is my go-to alternative. It’s 99.9% pure, mixes well, and does exactly what you need it to — support strength, energy, and recovery. Simple, effective, and easy to add into your routine.
Creatine Monohydrate Powder | 99.9% Pure
This is my alternative collagen option if my usual isn’t available. It’s hydrolysed so it mixes easily, and it’s great for supporting skin, hair, joints, and overall wellbeing. Easy to add into coffee or smoothies.
Collagen Powder - Hydrolysed Peptides
A good alternative electrolyte option. Simple, effective, and easy to use for hydration and energy.
Electrolyte Powder | Premium Hydration Drink
