Beyond Beef Beast Burger
"I've been meat-free since I was 13 years old, but my husband, who's trying to eat less meat, craves a veggie burger that doesn't taste like one. We both love these Beyond Beef Beast Burgers ($5 for 2). I've made him try just about every single veggie burger on the market and he thinks this tastes the most like a 'real' burger. What I love is that for 260 calories, it offers 23 grams of plant-based pea protein, and 4 grams of fiber. If you're trying to eat less meat in 2017, get your hands on these." — Jenny Sugar, editor, Fitness
Koral High Rise Lateral Legging
"Not only do the Koral High Rise Lateral Leggings ($145) make for a superhot addition to your basic black legging lineup (I love the mixed material approach to the luster legging trend), but they've got a high amount of compression, so they're not just for show. When I found out that they're water-friendly and that I could wear these from a stand-up paddleboard session straight to brunch (or honestly, even dinner . . . they're that sleek), I was head over heels." — Dominique Astorino, assistant editor, Fitness
Vital Proteins Vanilla & Coconut Water Collagen Peptides
"I've been obsessed with adding collagen to my smoothies and food for joint, bone, and muscle health, as well as for my skin. The Vital Proteins Vanilla & Coconut Water Collagen Peptides ($48) has been going in my coffee lately, too (and there are even recipes for cookies!). This versatile powder doesn't drastically alter the texture nor the taste of your food — if anything, it enhances it and adds a bit of vanilla sweetness, all while upping your nutrition and adding gut-healing probiotics to your diet." — DA
Rubbermaid FreshWorks 2-Piece Produce Saver Set
"Great minds think alike: Jenny and I both got these awesome containers from loved ones this Christmas. I'm so excited about the January Jump-Start, and with all this meal prep (and cooking for one!), it's important that I don't waste food or produce. I hate buying a tray of berries only for half of them to go bad! These nifty Rubbermaid FreshWorks containers ($18) extend the life of your produce so you can maximize your groceries and meal prep away in 2017!" — DA
Olly Nourishing Smoothie Protein Blend
"Compared to some pretty bitter protein powders I’ve had in the past, Olly's Nourishing Protein Blend ($28) is by far the tastiest. The plant-based powder doesn’t leave behind a pungent aftertaste and is packed with pea protein, golden chlorella, and flax to boost my energy and immune health so I can get the most out of my workouts. It’s also loaded with vitamin sources from 12 organic fruits and vegetables so if I skip my daily servings, I can rest assured knowing that my body receives its necessary nutrients. I personally love blending a few scoops of the Velvet Vanilla powder with strawberries, banana, almond butter, and Greek yogurt. It comes in nine delectable flavors including peachy mango, creamy strawberry, and cafe mocha so you can get your protein fix no matter your preference in flavor." — Aimee Simeon, assistant editor, Social Media
Lululemon Energy Bra
"You know the contortionist-like moves you have to perform in order to wrestle off a sweaty sports bra after a workout? It's really bad when you need to call a friend for help! So save yourself the pain and embarrassment and get one of these Lululemon Energy Bras in Nulux ($52). I love that it's super stretchy so it goes on and off with ease, but it's also super supportive. I also really appreciate that it's cut higher than most sports bras to cover cleavage and keep my girls staying put. Plus the feminine criss-cross straps in the back make it look sporty, yet feminine." — JS
Nicole Granato Detoxifying Bath Salts
"January is the time to set resolutions, prioritize fitness, and overcome muscle soreness. There is nothing quite like the pain the day after an intense workout (aka leg day) to make you never want to work out again. This year, I'm relying on Nicole Granato's Detoxifying Bath Salts ($15) to get me through it. The soothing formula detoxifies your body while relieving aches and pains and the scent of lavender is the perfect addition for relaxation." — Genevieve Farrell, video producer, Fitness and Beauty
