2 weeks ago | mindbodygreen.com | Braelyn Wood

Image by MELANIE DEFAZIO / StocksyMay 20, 2025For most of my life, I simply couldn't relate to people who needed a sleep aid. Pretty much as soon as my head hit the pillow I'd be asleep. I would sleep for exactly eight hours (if not a little longer). My sleep routine was the most consistent thing about me. But a few months ago, everything changed.

The right formula can add around 25 grams of protein to a snack or meal (giving me a 25% kickstart to my goals). The only downside? Not all protein powders are made the same.
