Let’s get the obvious out of the way: you can cook using better, healthier ingredients. But what if you’re not looking to transform your entire diet? Here are a few lesser-known, outside-the-box ways to enhance your overall wellness.

Step 1: Ensure You’re Getting Crucial Nutrients

Does it ever feel like eating healthy is more trouble than it’s worth? The meal prep takes longer, the food can be more expensive, and to top it off, it tastes worse!

Enter Huel. Their innovative products offer the nutrients you need in an easy way. You get ready to drink meals chock full of key ingredients to help you lead a healthier lifestyle. It’s also relatively inexpensive and very tasty. Give it a shot!

Step 2: Add Supplements Into Your Morning Routine

A lot of companies advertise multivitamins that provide people with essential nutrients. Few deliver on that promise as well as Ritual, who specifically target dietary gaps of each age/gender range. Originally founded by a soon-to-be mother disappointed with prenatal vitamin options, Ritual has expanded to a wide offering of products for both men and women.

What makes Ritual stand out is their dedication to finding the right ingredients from all over the globe. Utah, Argentina and Canada are all places that they take from. That attention to detail shines through in their quality of product.

While you can’t go wrong with any of their daily multivitamins, I want to touch on the Essential Protein product. Many people struggle to get enough protein a day. This is a vegan-friendly way to increase your daily protein intake. The taste is great, too!

Fatty15 is another player in the supplement space. More limited in their offering, they have found C15:0, a saturated fatty acid with positive health benefits.

Usually, saturated fats are bad. In this case, they promote weight loss, metabolism, and overall mood enhancement. Definitely recommend giving Fatty15 a try.

Step 3: Consider Non-Alcoholic Alternatives

Do you ever wish you could enjoy a cocktail without getting drunk and dealing with the fallout the next day? Enter Curious Elixirs, who specialize in non-alcoholic, craft cocktails that actually taste good.

While alcohol itself is inherently not great for you, what people often neglect is the dietary choices made after it. A sober you might opt for salad, whereas the drunk you wants to eat an entire pizza. Unfortunately, drunk calories count too!

Step 4: Move Away From Coffee

You’re probably thinking, “how am I supposed to function without my coffee?” MUD\WTR is a healthy alternative to coffee that consists of 100% organic cacoa, Ayurvedic herbs and functional mushrooms.

Basically, it aims to replace the energy rush and crash of coffee with a more natural blend of focus & immune support with a fraction of the caffeine. I switched to MUD\WTR a month ago and noticed the changes almost immediately.

Alternatively, try Pique. Pique is a tea and supplement provider than offers innovative ways to maximize the benefits of what you drink. Their products are screen for toxins, and offer benefits such as radiant skin and detoxing.

Not only do they offer tea, but also coffee alternatives. Good news if you want to stick to what you know, more or less. The alternative pictured above adds boosted energy, as well as improving your metabolism function and mood. I can also vouch for the taste firsthand!

Step 5: Try Homemade Smoothies!

Smoothies are a great way to eat healthy, or should I say drink! Back when I was working on gaining weight (our struggle is real, too!) I found it much easier to drink calories than eat them.

NutriBullet is the biggest name in the smoothie business, and rightfully so. Offering a myriad of high-quality products at affordable prices, you really can’t go wrong with anything on their site. Take a look for yourself!
