A Healthy Ritual: Strawberry Banana Vanilla Protein Shake
Every morning, I embrace a healthy ritual by blending up a strawberry banana vanilla protein shake. It’s a great way to start the day with all the nutrients my body needs – fruit, protein, and even a sneaky vegetable. It’s true that adding a pinch of spinach blends right into the smoothie’s fruity flavor, so I love to top the smoothie off with a touch of greens when I have a little extra on hand.
Beyond protein powder, additional powdered supplements are available to help you reap even more benefits. Read on below for other supplements to consider and my daily protein shake recipe.
Supplements to Consider
Protein Powder
Naturally, protein powder should absolutely be included in your protein shake! Protein fuels your body for workouts, aids in your body’s workout recovery, and will help you feel full for longer. I also love how it makes smoothies thicker – like a milkshake consistency!
There are different types of protein powder for different diets (i.e. whey versus plant-based), but I don’t have any diet restrictions, so I just go with what tastes and feels best for me.
Fiber
Fiber is crucial to your digestive health, and it can easily be added into your protein shake through a powder. While you can incorporate fiber into your diet by eating certain foods, it can be difficult to maintain consistency and make sure you’re getting the right amount. A supplement can conveniently keep your system on track.
Biotin, Collagen, & More
Supplements like biotin and collagen are known for promoting the growth and health of skin, hair, and nails. I typically take my biotin in the form of a tablet, but OMONO recently sent me some of their powdered sachets all the way from Japan. In line with Japanese skincare ideals, OMONO aims to promote hydrated, healthy, and youthful skin. Their product contains collagen, biotin, hyaluronic acid, and astaxanthin, elastin, and vitamin C. It is also 100% non-GMO and free of artificial ingredients.
