Maybe you've been wondering ... do I need more protein?

Here’s the deal about protein … most people meet their basic minimum needs of protein, but many people could benefit from getting more than that, including:

• adults experiencing muscle loss, which is a natural progression that starts in your 30s and speeds up significantly around ages 50-60
• people recovering from an illness or infection
• physically active people and athletes
• people trying to lose weight without losing muscle
• people trying to gain muscle mass
• someone with a malabsorption or inflammatory issue, such as Crohn's, celiac, cystic fibrosis, and some cancers
• someone who is pregnant in the 2nd and 3rd trimester or breastfeeding
• vegetarians and vegans who aren’t intentional about getting protein from a variety of plant-based sources

We boost the above recipes, smoothies, coffee, and more with a team-favorite protein powder of ours, Puori Whey PW1. We love it because it doesn't contain any artificial or natural sugar alternatives, is third-party tested, and tastes great in so many recipes and smoothies.

☀️ What We're Loving Now ☀️

• Molly can't stop making our Jennifer Aniston Salad this summer. "This salad has become my lunch go-to. It's so simple to make ahead and I enjoy it while camping and at home! It's high in protein and so full of flavor."
• Jessie says her Sanuk Yoga Slings are the sandals she reaches for first every summer. "I've owned this pair for 9 years! I wore them so much that they're starting to wear through all the way to the bottom, so I just recently bought another pair that I know will last me for years to come. They are SO comfortable and lightweight, and I love that they dry and clean so easily."
• For the third summer in a row, Ana is living in her Vuori Performance Shorts. "They’re so comfortable and withstand so many washes without fading or pilling and I love how they move with me. I wear them for everyday, golfing, running, causal nights out … literally my favorite shorts. I have them in 3 colors.”
• Jess says her Mountainsmith Soft-Sided Cooler is what she grabs all summer long for trips to the store and sporting events. "It’s spacious and stylish and has three handy pockets. The frost blue color is beautiful and I get so many compliments on it."
• Stacie is really liking her new Clear Glass Bowl Set that she recently purchased from Target. "They come in a set of 4 bowls, each with a lid. I've been using them almost daily for storing leftovers or mixing ingredients."
