QUIZ TIME: Can you match the following descriptions with the correct ingredient above?

Provides essential amino acids, the ones your body can't make on its own and must get from food. We need more as we age because we don't absorb them as easily anymore.
Produced in your body and supports the epithelial cells that line your gut, boosts your immune system, and supports nutrient absorption. This also supports joints, bones, and skin. It’s essential to increase consumption of this as we age as production slows down.
Provides antioxidants and fiber and is essential for our gut health and supporting our immune system.

If you guessed number one is protein powder, two is collagen, and three is blueberries…then you’re correct! This smoothie packs a punch.

I’d be remiss if I didn't spend a little more time on fiber — it's underrated and needs to be discussed more often! Fiber is essential for good health and a happy gut. When working with clients, I always have them try to hit 35g of fiber a day, and eat 30 plants a week (including herbs, spices, and tea).
