How a messy kitchen, a little skepticism, and a lot of Amazon orders turned me into a powdered-drink believer

There’s absolutely no pressure to buy anything, but if you do, it genuinely helps support the time and love I put into writing these posts.

I used to think “superpowders” were just a fancy way to sell protein shakes to people who already had way too much protein in their lives. You know, the kind of influencer thing where they swirl a mysterious green drink on Instagram and claim their skin glows “from within.” Meanwhile, I’m over here drinking my third coffee, looking like a raccoon that stayed up all night arguing with the Wi-Fi.

But then I had one of those “it’s time” moments. My skin was dull, my digestion was hit-or-miss, and my stress level was somewhere between “cry in the shower” and “accidentally bite my lip while chewing salad.” I didn’t want to add ten new pills to my day. I wanted something simple. And apparently, in 2025, that means—yep—superpowders.

1. The Green Glow-Up

The first one I tried was Amazing Grass Greens Blend Superfood. I’d read that it was basically powdered vegetables—kale, spinach, broccoli—plus probiotics. The first morning, I stirred it into water, and it looked exactly like pond water from my childhood backyard. I braced myself, took a sip… and it wasn’t bad. Slightly sweet, earthy, and surprisingly light.

By day four, I noticed something unexpected—my morning coffee wasn’t hitting me with that jittery punch anymore. My skin didn’t exactly glow like a glazed donut, but it wasn’t the dull, tired look I’d been rocking either. I started looking forward to my little green cup, mostly because it felt like a win before 8 a.m.

2. Collagen: My Skeptical Sip

I’ve rolled my eyes at collagen powders for years. But then I read that after your late 20s, your collagen production slows, and it’s like your skin’s personal construction crew goes on strike. So, fine, I caved and bought Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides.

The magic? You can add it to anything—coffee, tea, even soup—and it doesn’t change the taste. Within a month, my nails were growing faster (and not breaking when I tried to open a soda can), and my skin had a smoother texture. The real surprise? My knees stopped making that “crunchy snow” sound every time I stood up after sitting cross-legged. That’s when I stopped rolling my eyes.

3. Chocolate for “Health Reasons”

Sometimes wellness powders taste like you’re being punished for something. But Orgain Organic Protein + Superfoods in creamy chocolate fudge? This one tastes like dessert that accidentally got a degree in nutrition.

It’s plant-based protein with added greens, chia seeds, and fiber. I started blending it with almond milk, a banana, and peanut butter, and calling it “breakfast.” I swear I had more steady energy until lunch—no mid-morning “why am I suddenly tired?” crash. Also, it made me feel less guilty about skipping actual vegetables at lunch on busy days (don’t judge me).

4. Beauty from the Inside (Apparently It’s a Thing)

If my green powder was the morning kickstart, Moon Juice Collagen Protect became my afternoon ritual. It’s a plant-based creamer with hyaluronic acid and antioxidants. I mix it into my matcha latte, and it turns into this creamy, velvety drink that feels… fancy.

I can’t scientifically prove it’s making me look younger, but I can say my skin started holding onto moisture better (less of that flaky winter dryness), and I noticed my makeup sitting better on my face. Plus, it’s the one powder I look forward to so much I’ll literally wash my blender right away—no sink procrastination.

5. Gut Check, Please

Here’s the thing nobody tells you—your skin and your gut are basically pen pals. If your digestion’s a mess, your skin will snitch on you. Enter Ritual Synbiotic+, a probiotic-prebiotic blend.

While not a “powder” in the strict sense (it’s in capsule form), I pair it with Garden of Life Raw Organic Fiber Powder, which is unflavored and blends into smoothies without tasting like cardboard. Within two weeks, my stomach felt less bloated, my digestion was more predictable (a blessing we don’t talk about enough), and my skin was calmer—not as red or puffy in the mornings.

My Mixing Hacks

Here’s the truth: powders can be life-changing, but if they taste like dirt, you won’t stick with them. So I got creative:

• Smoothie Base: Almond milk, frozen banana, and a spoonful of peanut butter will make almost any powder taste better.

• Coffee Boost: Collagen peptides dissolve perfectly in hot coffee—no weird clumps.

• Treat Trick: Blend chocolate protein powder with frozen cherries and almond milk for a “milkshake” that feels like cheating.

• Sneaky Greens: I’ll mix my green powder with lemonade instead of plain water. It hides the earthiness but keeps the benefits.

The Part Nobody Warned Me About

Superpowders will turn you into “that person” who talks about gut health at brunch. I’ve caught myself saying, “Well, my collagen peptides…” more times than I’d like to admit. And you’ll start eyeing your kitchen shelf like it’s a tiny apothecary—jars of powders lined up like loyal soldiers.

But here’s the thing: they actually make me feel better. My skin is less temperamental, my energy is steadier, and my digestion feels more… civil. And it’s not like I’ve overhauled my life—I just started stirring, blending, and shaking a few things into my daily routine.

If You Try Just One…

If you’re not sure where to start, pick one powder that solves your biggest current “ugh.”

• Dull skin? Go for greens or collagen.

• Energy crashes? Try a protein + superfood blend.

• Digestive drama? Fiber + probiotics are your friends.

And don’t feel like you need to spend $300 in one go—start with one, stick with it for a few weeks, and then decide if you want to add more.

So now I’m curious—are you already a superpowder person, or are you still side-eyeing the whole thing? Because if you’ve got a favorite, I’m absolutely the kind of person who will add it to my Amazon cart “just to try.”

(And yes, I’ll probably tell you about it at brunch.)
