Protein Powders, Meal Replacements and Nutritional Supplements

When it comes to vitamins, you get what you pay for. While cheaper, many popular brands today contain ingredients that may raise your blood level of a certain vitamin, but your body can't absorb it.

That's why it is important to buy a whole food vitamin such as Garden of Life's Raw One for Women

Garden of Life Raw Organic Meal Replacement Shakes are my go-to breakfast when I am in a hurry. They are vegan, organic and filled with fiber, superfoods, probiotics and enzymes to provide the vitamins and nutrients needed to fuel your body.

If you are looking for strictly protein and not a meal replacement, a great vegan source is Orgain Protein Powder.

This vegan protein replacement is not only gluten-free, soy-free, kosher & Non GMO,  It is also free of lactose/dairy, artificial colors, flavors, sweeteners and preservatives. And it doesn't contain carrageenan which is an ingredient most people don't know the importance of steering clear of. 

Orgain Protein Powder.

Levels Grass-fed Whey Protein Powder is my go-to for a post workout shake after lifting weights.

My favorite sugar substitutes are Stevia and Allulose. Both are natural ingredients derived from plants. Be cautious when buying either of these because just because they have stevia or allulose in the name of the product, doesn't mean that it doesn't have added ingredients.

Erythritol is a sugar alcohol (not to be confused with alcoholic beverages) which is often added to other sweeteners. Of all the sugar alcohols, erythritol is the least likely to cause GI issues (gas!)

The allulose I buy is Impact 100 % Pure Allulose.
