Healthy Gear We're Loving This Month

I’m relatively new to the world of protein shakes; until recently, I thought of them as the new version of my mom’s ‘90s SlimFast shakes (remember those?!). But because I’m obsessed with trying new things, I’ve tested an infinite number of protein and nutritional powders, and let me tell you, there are some seriously delicious options on offer in 2016. Hands down, my favorite is Vega’s Coconut Almond flavor of Vega One ($4-$70, depending on size). There’s something about the subtly sweet, anything-but-vanilla coconut-almond variety that makes me want to put it in everything. Try it on its own with some ice-cold coconut or almond milk; blended with ice, nut milk, and a banana; or mixed into a fruit smoothie.
