I’ve dipped in and out of the gym over the years, but I really got back into it this past February. Since then, I’ve tested a bunch of foods, pre-workout drinks, and other tools that have actually made a difference for me—so here’s my go-to list to h...

Protein Snacks
These are my go-to protein bars. Truly cannot taste the proteiny after taste and are just actually delicious. My favorite is the Peanut Butter or the Coconut Crisp taste like an Almond Joy :)
Shop Barebells protein bars | High protein and no added sugar
My best friend is diabetic and these were our first go to for a “sweet treat” for him, favorite flavor is definitely the strawberry
Frosted Cookies
This might seem odd to have in my gym buddies section but i am a sweet treat kinda girl and having mini rice cakes that are delicious to eat with like greek yogurt is fantastic. Definitely have to buy the mini bags though, i will eat the entire bag i...
Drizzilicious Mini Rice Cake Bites Variety Pack Same-Day Delivery
I have been using this recently and mixing it with greek yogurt and let me tell ya, if you like coconut, i think you’ll love this. It’s made it really easy to add some more protein to a quick snack.
Walmart Supercenter
I have tried the coconut, the hazelnut and chocolate, the brownie one & now the candy cane brownie. These are great if you love marshmallow and chocolate and a quick 16 to 17g of protein. I don’t love most of the flavors unfortunately, but i have...

Headphones
I’ve tested tons of headphones over time, and these are the ones that truly stood out. Whether it’s sound quality, comfort, or style—these are my top picks!
I replaced my apple airpods 2 with these recently and i have really been loving them. The sound quality is pretty good and i love how quickly they charge
Beats Studio Buds + | True Wireless Earbuds, Noise Cancelling
Recently i ended up with some airpods pro 2. I think the noise cancellation has changed my life forever. It is so nice when i really want to focus and drown out any white noise
AirPods Pro 2
Protein Shakes
I am trying so hard to stay in my calorie deficit and let me tell you these babies are my fav little coffee in the morning, 10g of protein is really nice.
Iced Coffee
These have always been such an easy source of protein on the go and to push myself to my final calorie goal

These have been my recent hyper fixation to add to my morning coffee, absolutely love using it to flavor my cold brew and an easy 30g

Pre-Workout Drinks
Witches Brew is by far my favorite energy drink, and i love the using it in the fall as a little pre workout :)
Energy Drink - Witch's Brew
This is sparking grape juice in a can and it is so delicious, it definitely helps to make me feel awake and energized to tackle a workout
GHOST Energy Drink 12-Pack Welch's Grape 16oz
This is an absolute classic and i always fight between this or a ghost welch. I love coconut, the only downside is its not sugarfree yet
Red Bull Coconut Edition: Coconut-Berry | Energy Drink
Electrolytes Recovery
I was diagnosed with POTS about two years ago, and these have become everything to me. I have them at work, in all my bags, in my car and of course at home. I love using these and they are especially helpful after the gym. Rasberry & Citrus are m...
Zero Sugar Electrolytes | Paleo-Keto Friendly Hydration
Recently one of my girls got married and i reached out to Waterboy to help celebrate her bachelorette party, not only did they send me a big sample pack , they included a bunch of flavors. Definitely the best combo for electrolytes
Waterboy
This is definitely my third go to for electrolyte recovery, i personally just hate waiting for shipping. They have a bunch of different flavors and a great formal
Santa Cruz Paleo Electrolyte Powder Orange
While i already love the packets, these are really nice if you just want to grab and go without having to sit there and shake it into your water
LMNT Sparkling | Zero Sugar Electrolytes | Paleo-Keto Friendly ...
Although this one has less electrolytes which isn’t the greatest for POTS, it does have a good amount for just normal people wanting to help with hydration. This flavor is so bomb.
I have three tops from Aerie that i am obsessed with. They are all tshirts that are silky and are so so nice and breathable, i definitely recommend
Women's Workout Tops: Tank Tops, T-Shirts & More | OFFLINE by Aerie
I decided to randomly run a 5k last month and really learned the value of a good pair of shoes. These have been so nice for my extremely flat feet with a nice cushion & support.
What’s a good workout without a better water bottle
I understand the hype behind these is insane, but i will say for me personally it does make it a lot easier for me to hit my water goal. They hold a lot of water, keep things relatively cold (i am not a cold water girl) and they are pretty easy to cl...
Insulated, Stainless Steel Tumblers
I had a hydro before my Stanley. Do to having Pots, i always have to drink water. Truly my main reason for the switch was because i dented the side of it while walking to my car during college. Otherwise i didn’t really have any problems with it.
Hydro Flask
I think these are great for people who do not like the taste of water, you can even it set it to your own desired level. I think the best way to buy the flavors is online because buying in person can seem a bir expensive.
Cirkul
I was recently gifted yet another wattle bottle, i think i have a problem too.
I like that fact that this one fits in my car cup holder and that it has a lock on the lip. The straw or chug feature seems nice too.
