I’ve always loved holidays, themes, and any excuse to make everyday life feel a little more festive. Whether it’s a seasonal drink, themed snacks, decorating the house, or trying a viral holiday treat, I’m absolutely the person who leans all the way in. But as I’ve focused more on fitness, hormone health, and building routines that actually make me feel good, I realized something: I didn’t want to give up the fun parts of holidays to stay consistent with my wellness goals.
Instead, I started finding ways to blend the two.
For me, wellness doesn’t mean skipping the themed drinks, seasonal foods, or cozy traditions I love. It means reimagining them in a way that still supports my body, adding protein to the fun recipes, choosing ingredients that support hormone balance, and building meals that keep my energy stable while still feeling festive.
Because the truth is, health routines stick a lot better when they’re enjoyable and a little playful.
So this space is where those two worlds meet: holiday fun and feel-good wellness. Because you shouldn’t have to choose between loving the holidays and loving how you feel in your body. Here, we’re doing both.
Ingredients and why I chose them:
🍍 Pineapple: 3-4 pieces frozen if possible
Contains bromelain to support digestion and reduce inflammation
Adds natural sweetness so you don’t need added sugar
🥬 Spinach: big handful
Rich in iron and magnesium, which support energy and help reduce fatigue
Great for hormone health and muscle recovery
🍌 Banana: 1/4 sliced
Provides potassium to support hydration and muscle function
Natural carbs help fuel workouts and keep blood sugar steady when paired with protein and fat
🥑 Avocado: 1/4 small haas
Healthy fats that support hormone production and satiety
Adds creaminess while helping stabilize blood sugar
🥤 Vanilla Protein Shake: 1/2 container, I used premiere protein
Helps with muscle repair and recovery
Keeps you full longer and balances the natural sugars from fruit
🍵 Matcha: 2 tablespoons with 1/4 cup of water
Provides calm, sustained energy thanks to L-theanine + caffeine
Rich in antioxidants that support metabolism and focus
💪 Creatine: 1 small scoop, I used StudioKSL
Supports strength, muscle performance, and recovery
Also linked to cognitive and energy benefits for women
✨ Collagen: 1 scoop, I used StudioKSL
Supports skin, hair, nails, and joint health
Adds extra protein to help with recovery
Best Phase: Follicular Phase
This phase happens right after your period, when estrogen starts rising and energy begins to increase.
Why this shake fits perfectly:
🍍 Pineapple + Banana (light carbs)
Provide quick, clean energy as your body becomes more insulin sensitive
Great for fueling workouts when energy is ramping up
🍵 Matcha
Gentle caffeine supports the natural energy boost that happens in this phase
L-theanine keeps energy smooth without jitters
🥬 Spinach
Helps replenish iron and minerals lost during your period
🥤 Protein + Creatine + Collagen
Supports muscle building and recovery, which is ideal since strength gains tend to respond well in the follicular phase
🥑 Avocado
Healthy fats help keep the smoothie balanced and prevent a blood sugar spike
