What better way to have a convenient, healthy snack or meal this winter than with a smoothie? They’re easy to make and are super customizable based on your flavor and dietary preferences. The big question is: what should go in them? You might have some smoothie staples in mind, but what about the best supplements that fit your lifestyle and meet your body’s needs? Here are three of the best smoothie supplements you should try this winter.

Acai Berries

Whether they are made into a bowl or added into a smoothie, chances are you’ve heard of these sweet fruits already. These trendy smoothie supplements are native to South and Central America and have become one of the most popular health foods over the past couple of years in the U.S.

In addition to their great taste, these berries have become increasingly popular for their health benefits. Acai berries are full of nutrients and antioxidants, which are perfect for keeping you in good health this winter. You can buy them as whole berries or pureed and frozen, making them perfect as a smoothie supplement.

Protein Powder

Ditch the basic protein shakes and start adding your powder to smoothies! While shakes are a classic way to meet your protein goals, smoothies may be more beneficial in meeting your nutritional needs. Protein shakes usually only consist of two ingredients, powder and a liquid like milk or water, but smoothies allow you to add additional supplements to your diet.

With smoothies, you can easily add potassium, vitamin C, or calcium to your diet by adding in banana, orange, or wheatgrass. Not only is protein a great nutritional addition to your smoothies, but it will also make you feel more full and reduce cravings throughout the day. Whether you’re making a smoothie for an early-morning gym session or to hold you over between lunch and dinner, protein smoothies are the perfect way to get through this winter.

If you’re looking to replace your protein shakes with something even more convenient, pick up a Fuel For Fire Banana Cocoa protein smoothie to enjoy by itself or as an addition to your homemade smoothie.

Chia Seeds

Despite their small size, these seeds contain a lot of what your body needs to stay healthy. Adding these to your smoothies is a quick and easy way to introduce more protein, calcium, iron, and magnesium into your diet. They also contain omega-3 fatty acids, an important supplement for brain health. 

Their taste isn’t overpowering so you can realistically add them to any flavor combination. All you need to do is add one or two tablespoons to your favorite smoothie. Make your own chia seed smoothie or add them to a pre-made protein smoothie.

Fuel For Fire makes the perfect protein smoothies for winter gym sessions, runs, or home workouts. Try them on their own or combine them with one of these supplements. Use our store locator to find our products in stores or shop on our website!
