Root’d was founded upon the belief that supplements could be enjoyable, with transparency, with sustainability, and without any sacrifice. After 2 years of research, its founders learned that powder supplements were not just an easier format to old school pills or sugary gummies, rather they actually absorb way better in our bodies. Its proprietary process infuses natural, high-quality vitamins and minerals with organic super greens, giveing Root’d its “superpowers.” Thus, when Root’d powder is mixed into a liquid and enjoyed, the chemistry of our bodies work to absorb the nutrients 9 to 10 times faster than a pill or gummy, aiming to increase nutritionally-related benefits related to one’s stamina, immunity, and sexual wellness. Root’d makes its supplements for men, women, and prenatal moms-to-be alike, as currently available via Sprouts stores nationwide, key independent natural stores, Amazon, and of course, Rootd.com; a 24-pack ought to sell in the $29.99 to $34.99 range.
Honestly Goods’ California-made dishes are hand-molded and high-fired, as all of its letters are hand-stamped with subtle detailing; its graphics are either hand-painted or durable heat-sealed decals. In turn, these stylish dishes can be described as respectfully-irreverent and can serve as the perfect “catch all” for life’s little treasures, and/or the topic of conversation on your appetizer table. The “Wash Your ******* Hands” plate (no stars on the plate itself, of course) is proudly on display in my home and hopefully will be for many years to come.

Mezcla is a new, New York City-based consumer lifestyle brand on a mission to get 2 things into your hands: 1) a delicious plant-based protein bar, 2) an interactive digital gallery of user-submitted art celebrating global diversity. Although only launched in 2019, Mezcla launched in 625 Walmart stores on July 11th — quickly selling over 7,000 of its bars — and opened its e-commerce site to the public last month. Far more than just your typical protein bar, Mezcla is connecting food, art, and community through sourcing its ingredients and package design from countries around the world, a digital platform for free expression, giving back to schools with unfunded art programs, and amazing flavors. My favorite is the Japanese Matcha Vanilla, which is vegan, gluten-free, Non-GMO, soy-free and high in protein; 8 bars currently sell for $19.99 through the Meczla website with a 5 percent discount coming through a “VIP subscription.”

The brand also just introduced its newest flavor profile, Lilikoi Lychee, last month with WWE (and Total Divas) star and REIGN lead spokeswoman Natalie Eva Marie, who The Hype spoke with last month. Combining the tart and tangy flavor of lilikoi with the sweet, aromatic finish of lychee, the new REIGN Lilikoi Lychee addition reportedly evokes the scents and flavors of a tropical exotic getaway.

DripDrop Hydration is an efficient and great-tasting dehydration remedy. While most people traditionally turn to coffee or energy drinks for their pick-me-up, one thing to really consider is hydration for its energy and metabolism boost out there; reportedly burn 1 liter of fluids while we sleep overnight. As effective as an IV, DripDrop — a powder packet with multiple flavor options you mix in water — makes for an easy way of jumpstarting your metabolism in the morning, which you can throw in a backpack as school resumes, toss in a water bottle pre or post-workout, and/or drop into warm or cold water when sick.

Lenny & Larry’s makes cookies that are packed with plant-based protein and fiber, providing a treat that satisfies each sweet tooth, tummy and muscle alike. There’s an option to satisfy each sugary craving with their epic roster Complete Cookies, Complete Crunchy, Complete Cremes, and even a low-carb option with their new Keto Cookie in fun flavors that make every burpee worth the journey. My personal favorites are the Complete Cookies.

With tantalizing flavors like Chocolate Chip, Peanut Butter, Oatmeal Raisin and Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip, you will surely find a cookie you love.

The only brand on this list making both energy-related and CBD-including products, Kill Cliff was founded by a former Navy SEAL as a way to give back to our special warfare community via the Navy SEAL Foundation; the brand has donated just shy of $1 million to that cause to date. Simply put, Kill Cliff makes clean energy drinks — no sugar, no junk, just all-natural ingredients. Its 3 beverages are Kill Cliff Ignite (150 mg of caffeine extracted from Green Tea, b-vitamins and electrolytes), Kill Cliff Recover (focus on the b-vitamins and electrolytes, just with 25 mg of caffeine to aid in absorption) and Kill Cliff CBD (all the benefits of Kill Cliff Recover but with the added chill of broad-spectrum CBD, which is science-speak for 0% THC). Nutritious and delicious, my favorite of the 3 is the Kill Cliff Ignite.
Last but definitely not least, In Your Face has cooked up some great recipes for serums, moisturizers and cleansers for the sake of nourishish your pores through the familiarity of foods such as grapefruit, pineapple and green tea. Nutrients from fruits like this sustain us so well, so why not direct the same energy to the largest organ of our bodies, our skin? If the rest of our body eats, our skin should too. Products from the In Your Face brand range from $57 to $263.95; I personally use the Moisturizing Wash, which includes red algae, green tea and pomegranate.
