1 day agoHow the Whole-Grain Trend Went Wrong
Refined grains can lead to health issues, while whole grains are promoted for their benefits, though their actual health impact is debated.
Mānuka honey introduces a layer of complexity that traditional sweeteners cannot replicate. Ultra MGO 800+ is described as thicker, richer and more earthy than standard honey, delivering intense mineral bursts and chocolate notes.
Premier Protein offers a wide range of flavors, and while some may seem simple, like vanilla, they can still provide a satisfying taste experience. The vanilla flavor, though not the most authentic, serves its purpose well in the milk protein drink, creating a dynamic flavor that masks the protein aspect effectively.
One theory is that by slowing the rate of biological ageing, it may be possible to prevent or mitigate age-related illness, meaning people have more years of good health. A study carried out by researchers in the US and including funding from the confectionery manufacturer Mars suggests a daily multivitamin could help slow some markers of biological ageing – although what that means in terms of health remains unclear.
The addition of the beetroot to give the drink its hue is a little different. It's a great natural way to get a beautiful vibrant pink color without adding a different flavor to the drink or using an artificial means of color.
This frosty, pale yellow puree holds a secret: a super citrusy, sweet tart flavor owed to a load of lemon zest and juice. When I'm in the mood for a sunny, citrusy drink, this is what I crave! Whiz it up with frozen fruit and milk in a blender, and it's one of the tastiest, most satisfying smoothies around. You can even call it a "lemon pie smoothie" to make it even more fun!
Protein-packed smoothies and shakes are all the rage. Whether your go-to ingredient is Greek yogurt, peanut butter, cottage cheese, or simply protein powder, these popular drinks are both refreshing and good for you. But sometimes, after a long day, protein is the last thing you want to worry about, and a dessert-like smoothie is the perfect pick-me-up. One of our favorite sweet smoothies is a spin on one of the most classic vintage American pies: the cherry pie.
Liquid Remedy clocks in at just 5 calories per 8.5 ounce can and zero sugar. It's a kombucha drink rather than a soda, but it comes in a range of fun fruity flavors such as mixed berry and raspberry lemonade that will help you scratch that soda itch. Kombucha is a probiotic drink that has been shown to have some benefits for gut health.
This opening episode dives straight into detoxing. From juice cleanses and detox teas to charcoal pills, foot pads, and coffee enemas, Edwards and Baumgardt watch, wince, and occasionally laugh their way through some of the internet's most popular detox trends. Along the way, they ask what these products claim to remove, how they supposedly work, and why feeling worse is often reframed online as a sign that a detox is "working."
vyv (pronounced v-eye-v), a new personalized vitamin and supplement brand designed for women ages 20 to 30 who want wellness to feel intuitive, flexible, and easy to keep up with. Think less pressure, fewer bottles, and way more "this actually works for my life." vyv is the younger sister brand to Persona™ Nutrition, designed with a fresh lens for Gen Z/Millennial females juggling packed schedules, shifting hormones, and big goals-without asking them to become supplement experts along the way.
If you, too, down a bottle of kombucha every chance you get, we are one. Well, maybe not every chance (after all, you can definitely drink too much kombucha), but you get the picture. I adore the fizzy, probiotic drink, which is on the very long list of things I'd like to make at home eventually. But until I have enough capacity to embark on a homemade kombucha adventure, I'll stick to the store-bought stuff, preferably from Health-Ade.
Sauer has experience turning a nascent RTD brand into a household name. Garage Beer, which he acquired in 2021 and relaunched in 2023, has shown triple-digit year-over-year growth, with sales increasing more than 500% in the 12 months ended in early April 2025, he says. It's now valued at around $200 million and is continuing to grow, despite an overall slump in the beer industry, according to a September report from The Wall Street Journal.
Rachel Swanson, a registered dietitian at LifeSpan Medicine and author of "Trying!: A Science-Backed Plan to Optimize Your Fertility," splits her time between New York City and Miami, spending about half the year in each. She also takes small-group workout classes three times a week, focusing on strength training. She says eating enough nutrients, especially protein for muscle-building, is crucial for her. She generally aims for around 0.7 grams of protein per pound of body weight, the protein intake usually recommended for physically active people.
