I am pretty committed to protein powder; most days for breakfast, I make my 400-calorie weight-loss smoothie. And while I tend to gravitate towards my favourite brands, I was pleasantly surprised by Orgain Organic Plant Based Protein Powder in Peppermint Hot Chocolate ($27). The chocolaty-mint flavour is perfect for the season, and it tastes delicious without being chalky. It goes well with spinach, frozen banana, frozen cauliflower, and almond milk and with an impressive 21 grams of protein and zero grams of sugar, keeps me satisfied for hours." — Christina Stiehl, editor, Fitness
