Supplements we’re trying out:
I’ve been trying to improve the nutrient density of my calorie intake without affecting calories too much. Because I’m in a calorie deficit, I’ve found it a struggle to consistently get enough fruits and vegetables in.

Habit’s we’re trying to form
I’ve recently really stepped up my meditation game, averaging 30 minutes per day as soon as I wake up.

All with the help of this little gadget.
That’s all folks!
That’s all from this week’s PropanePicks! We’ll be back next week with some more picks from around the internet.
