Upper Limit Pre-Workout

Years ago, I started prioritizing working out, and it has become the keystone to my morning routine. To fuel said workout, I’ve been drinking this pre-workout for years, and it’s so good (tiger’s blood is my favorite). Unfortunately, I’ve been having some flare-ups with my health and cutting out ingredients more and more, so I’m no longer taking pre-workout (boo). This sounds all very dramatic as I’m typing it out, but I’ve really come to love my pre-workout! Regardless of my health issues, I recommend this Upper Limit brand to all my friends!

Better Greens

I’ve been trying out this Better Greens brand to replace my pre-workout. You can purchase it with or without caffeine, and I go for the caffeine! At this point, I’m not interested in cutting out caffeine, and while it’s no Tiger’s Blood, I like how my body feels when I drink this! I sip on it while I’m driving to the gym, and by the time I get there, stop by the lockers, and start moving, I’m feeling good to go!

30 oz Water

While I’m working out, I drink a full 30 oz in this Stanley flip straw tumbler. It’s the perfect amount to keep me nice and hydrated during my sweat sesh, and it has become my designated gym water bottle. I drink 40oz from my work Stanley, and after work, I fill up my home Stanley and try to make it through another 40oz before bed.

Fresh Celery Juice

Years ago, when I started trying to manage my thyroid issues, I implemented fresh celery into my morning routine. I did it consistently for months and then stopped for a while, but as I said, I’ve been having some recent flare-ups, so I’m back on the celery juice kick! It’s something that’s talked about immensely in this Thyroid Healing book, and I have noticed it seems to be helping. I put a full stalk through the juicer and drink it fresh after the gym.

Thyroid Healing Smoothie

Another thing I drink, per the Thyroid Healing book, is a “Thyroid Healing Smoothie.” It calls for 2 cups of frozen mango, one banana, and 1 cup of water. You can add a bunch of extra things, but I like to add one scoop of my athletic greens. I drink this after my celery juice, usually while I’m getting ready for the day.

Athletic Greens

Athletic Greens has never sponsored me, but I’ve been a fan of theirs since I tried them about two years ago. Their comprehensive green blend is packed with vitamins & minerals, pre & probiotics, digestive & immunity support, and much more. I like to think that it’s filling in all the gaps where my daily nutrients might be lacking. I actually really like the taste just mixed with water, but I feel like I’m multi-tasking when I mix it with my mango & banana smoothie.

Hint Water

Sometimes in the afternoon, I need a little pick-me-up. Since I’ve cut out soda completely (occasionally, I’ll cave for a diet DP), I still like to have something fun to sip on when that afternoon lull hits. This Hint water always satisfies the craving. I love the cherry, but my current favorite is the coconut, and if I’m really feeling wild, I’ll pour it on the rocks and add a squeeze of fresh lime. Yum. Bonus points for being able to drink it without taking out my Invisalign.

Bone Broth

I feel like drinking bone broth is all the rage these days. I’ve been on a bone broth kick because of all the incredible benefits, but I also find it to be super comforting and soothing, especially on a colder day. This EPIC bone broth is delicious and packed with 12 grams of protein and collagen, and it’s good for your bone and joint health. I’m not much of a hot drink person, but I love warming this up in a mug and sipping on it–good for the soul!

SpoiledChild Collagen

I mentioned in My Skincare Routine that I keep this drink a tablespoon of this collagen every night before I take all my vitamins. I keep it in the fridge (it’s better cold) and do a little swig straight from the bottle. The taste took some getting used to, but I really like it now. It has made the biggest difference in the brightness and hydration of my skin!
