Want to know something funny!! I’ve been making smoothies since high school. One of my first jobs was as a protein shake “mixer” and supplement salesperson at MASS PLUS. A heavy weight gym where people came to power lift and sip on EAS protein shakes post workout.
Looking back, it’s funny how I was so curious about fitness, supplements and nutrition even as a teen. I would devour health magazines, and try to learn as much as I could about supplements and vitamins while at work. While the fundamentals of my philosophy on post exercise nutrition has changed–I still feel like I’ve come full circle!
One HUGE shift in the smoothie making world over the last 20 years are the abundance of super food supplements!!! Beyond whey protein and blending raw eggs , there wasn’t a whole lot on the market back in my teens. Now we have so many amazing nourishing options and delicious flavor combinations at our fingertips.
I’m a believer that the best vitamins come from whole foods, and superfoods are whole foods packed with nutrition!. PLUS the “super” enhancements taste good!
Super Foods We Use on The Regular! Seeds like hemp, chia, pumpkin and flax. Herbs like turmeric, mint and cilantro. Plant based protein, Collagen Peptides, Adaptogens, Mushrooms, Berries, Greens and more!
