When you think of healthy eating and nutrition, it’s only natural to think of plates full of fresh vegetables, lean proteins and healthy carbohydrates like quinoa or wholemeal pasta.
There’s good reason for this image, as these types of foods contain a better balance of macronutrients (carbs, fats and proteins) and more micronutrients (vitamins and minerals).
But what if we told you that you can feel just as nourished with nutritionally complete shakes, powders, snack bars or drinks?
These products have been designed specifically to provide you with everything your body needs to go throughout the day, with significantly less time prepping or cooking in the kitchen!
