If you are wonder what products I typical buy here’s a few of my favorites. When it comes to protein powder I’m all about the Ascent brand of whey protein. Ascent doesn’t included any sugar alcohols and only uses a little bit of monk fruit and stevia. Making it one of the best brands in my opinion. Further Foods Collagen peptides are a staple in my pantry and like Ascent, Further Foods only uses stevia and monk fruit in their products. Full fat greek yogurt is my go to for yogurt and I’ve been buy Greek Gods brand on repeat.
