As someone who lives a fairly busy and active life, I wanted to try one of DOSE’s 2-week smoothie packs to see what effects they had on my energy and hunger throughout the day. While many of us are currently staying home more often, there are still responsibilities to take care of on a daily basis and only so many hours to fit them all in.
If you’re struggling to find the time to add all the necessary vitamins and minerals to your diet, especially during a busy morning routine, then grabbing a DOSE smoothie might just be what you need to keep you going throughout the day. Whether you’re constantly on-the-go or simply don’t have the time or energy to make yourself a nutrient-dense smoothie every morning, below are a few ways I benefited from having a DOSE smoothie daily and why you might too.
I Was Full for Longer
One of the biggest struggles of not always working from home is that your commute time cuts into your daily routine. Not to mention that early mornings can often leave you feeling hungry earlier on in the day, making it difficult to stay energized and focused when you have a lot of work to get done. I imagine it’s even more difficult if you have kids or other family members to take care of as well.
Having a BANABERRY smoothie close at hand while working or on my way, there was perfect for getting an extra boost to take on my day. With its high amount of carbohydrates, I instantly felt a boost of energy, while its protein content helped tide me over until lunch so that I wasn’t hungry and irritable throughout the day.Â
I Felt Re-Energized After a Hard Workout
Working out regularly is incredibly important for your overall health, which is why I try to incorporate it into my weekly routine as often as I can. However, after every workout, I was always left hungry and low energy until I could finally sit down for a full meal.
Grabbing a MATCHA smoothie after a tiring workout helped me regain some of my energy, and get in protein and calcium to stay full and maintain the health of my bones. Matcha is also a great alternative to coffee for that much-needed boost after a high-intensity cardio workout.
I Didn’t Sacrifice Flavour for Nutrition
Sometimes staying healthy and eating the right foods isn’t always the most enjoyable experience. Not all fruits and vegetables are tasty, but so many of them offer the necessary minerals and vitamins to keep your body strong and healthy. The best part of the DOSE smoothies is that I didn’t feel like I was sacrificing flavour for nutrition.
The UPBEET smoothie has a high content of Vitamin C and iron but still tasted sweet despite beets’ normally bitter flavour. Knowing that I would be able to enjoy a healthy and delicious smoothie made it easier to reach for it as a snack and knew that it would be better for me than other snacking options. For an invigorating flavour first thing in the morning, I would reach for the BRIGHTSIDE smoothie, which has more intense ingredients such as ginger, turmeric, lemon, and mango. It was an easy way to get that morning boost on even the darkest of winter days!
If you find that you don’t have enough time to get in all the right vitamins and minerals throughout the day, then consider trying one of the DOSE smoothies challenge packs! Their great taste and satiating protein will make it easy to stay energized and maintain your busy schedule while enjoying a variety of delicious flavours!
