Craving snacks? Here’s how to easily get rid of it
Finally, I can check off my intention to live healthier. And yes, I hear you thinking: the new year has just begun. But this is not a typical New Year's thing; this is a battle I have been fighting with myself for years. And for the past few months, I have been succeeding. Not that I suddenly leave a piece of Tony behind, but where I used to blink twice and the chocolate bar was already gone, now after two pieces it is actually just enough. And that coffee? I only drink it in the morning because I don't need more. I never expected this from myself, with the backbone of a pudding, I thought about zero percent. But I am really succeeding.
How I managed to do that is actually ridiculously simple. No diets, no complicated schedules or expensive supplements: just one small adjustment that changed everything.
The super drink
My friend tipped it a while ago, but it felt a bit like a far-from-my-bed show at the time. I was absolutely not an elite athlete (hello Lewis Hamilton and all those top athletes), but I was in motherhood (after all, that is also elite sports) with two boys aged three and one and a half. In terms of sports, I did absolutely nothing else. I thought it was something that only belonged to a life where fitness and protein shakes play a leading role, but nothing could be further from the truth.
It is actually much more than that, because it turns out to be suitable for almost everyone (okay, if you are pregnant, you might want to skip it for now). I am talking about the wonder of wonders: AG1. I have been drinking the green drink every morning since September. Say goodbye to all those jars of supplements and hello to the stylish green jar that sits in the fridge, filled with AG1 powder that it’s all about.

What is AG1?
Simply put: more than seventy high-quality ingredients that replace about fifteen (!) different supplements. It is packed with vitamins, minerals, fibers, probiotics, and adaptogens, in other words: everything your body needs to stay in a healthy and good balance.
You mix one scoop with cold water in the included (handsome) bottle and add five drops of the vitamin D3+K2 that you get with it and that’s it. Those drops are not a must, but I find it a nice addition. Shake, drink, done. How easy is that? You can mix it with ice cubes or a bit of lemon, but I absolutely don’t find that necessary. It has no ‘green’ taste, but rather a subtle combination of pineapple and vanilla. So no more pills and no hassle from now on.
And the best part? I really notice a difference. After two weeks, my energy felt more stable, a few weeks later my nails were stronger and my concentration better. Even my coffee and snack cravings are really a lot less, especially when I was a few weeks further along, I really noticed a big difference in this.
So yes, I feel fitter, more energetic, and healthier, without having to do anything crazy for it, and that was exactly my intention because for a sweet tooth like me, that is quite an achievement.
