Editor favorite: As a journalist — and self proclaimed wellness and beauty aficionado — I’m always interviewing experts mentioning how important getting enough protein is, and seriously — they’re right. Since upping my intake my hair has become thicker, my skin looks better — so many wonderful perks. Since my diet is 90 percent vegan, it’s really hard for me to get the macronutrient in, and the powders from Wellious have made it easier. Every day I add a scoop (or two) into my blender with a banana, some ice, and water or nut milk. I’m energized, full, and know I’m giving my body something good.
