My Favorite Supplements for 2025

I have been taking supplements on and off since childhood, but only recently did I decide to be more consistent with them. I had bloodwork done a couple of months ago and figured out which ones I really needed, then did a clean-out of my medicine cabinet and got rid of all of the expired supplements as well as those I felt I didn't need anymore. Today, I thought I'd share a few of my current favorites with you!

1. Iron Supplements My blood labs have come back as anemic a few different times over the years, so having a good iron supplement on hand is key. I choose Naked Iron supplement because it has 65 mg of iron (361% DV), which helps to enhance energy*, increase immunity*, and reduce fatigue.*  (Working mom fatigue, especially in these grey winter months, is no joke.) I love that it is formulated with Ferrous Bisglycinate, which offers superior absorption, is gentle on digestion to help me maintain optimal iron levels.*

2. Biotin Supplements Biotin is known for nourishing skin and hair*, boosting metabolism*, and more. Naked is my favorite Biotin brand because it is high potency, containing 10,000 mcg, and is vegan and gluten free. So many supplements are full of unnecessary extras. Naked brand is called Naked brand for a reason - it's free of extra junk!

3. Vitamin D Supplements I don't have a specific brand of Vitamin D I prefer, and tend to switch it up. But I was vitamin D deficient, and my doctor told me it's important that I take this everyday, especially in the winter. 

4. Collagen Peptides Yes, another Naked brand supplement. But for good reason! I consider Naked Collagen to be the absolute best (you've probably heard me talk about it before), and I put it in my coffee every single day.  It's sourced from pasture-raised cows, is free of additives and artificial sweeteners, is odorless and tasteless, and is highly soluble. The best!

5. Probiotics Gut health is important to me, and I can feel it when I stop taking probiotics. So this year, I'm making an effort to be sure to take them daily. 

If you take supplements, I'd love to hear about your current favorites as well!

These green quesadillas are delicious, but they're especially fun to make around St. Patrick’s Day. They’re incredibly simple too!

St. Paddy's Day Cheese Quesadillas ☘️

1/2 avocado, cubed
Small handful of cilantro (optional)

Melt oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the tortilla in the pan and flip to warm both sides. Sprinkle cheese over half of the tortilla, then cover with baby spinach leaves. Fold uncovered side over the top of the covered side to fold in half. Reduce heat and cover the pan for about a minute. Uncover, flip, and cover again for a minute. Repeat this until the cheese is fully melted. Remove from pan and slice into wedges. Top with salsa verde, cubed avocado, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.

Love Day Berry Smoothie

Valentine's Day isn't for everyone, and I completely get that. For me, the day is about celebrating love and kindness over romantic relationships. I love giving out Valentines, making crafts with my kids, and enjoying allllll the Valentine treats. 

And while I will never turn down a good Valentine chocolate, it's easy to celebrate with healthy choices too. In fact, one of our favorite Love Day treats is a fresh berry and collagen smoothie that just happens to be the perfect shade of Valentine pink. It's easy to make and oh-so-delicious to drink.

Love Day Berry Smoothie (with Marine Collagen!)

Makes 2

INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup frozen strawberries

1/2 cup frozen raspberries

3/4 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
2 scoops Naked Marine Collagen Peptides Protein Powder
1/2 cup almond milk, coconut milk, or whole milk 

fresh strawberries for garnish

Combine all ingredients except strawberry garnish in a blender and puree until smooth. Pour into two glasses. Cut hearts from fresh strawberries and add as garnish.

The berries give this smoothie it's perfect Love Day color, but the star of the drink is Naked Marine Collegen Peptides Protein Powder, which contains just one ingredient: Premium marine collagen peptides sourced from wild-caught cod. This highly bioavailable marine collagen is easily absorbed by the body, which means more radiant skin, shiny hair, and strong nails, as well as joint strength and overall vitality. Yes please! It is odorless and tasteless, and dissolves easily in your favorite hot or cold beverages. Naked Marine Collegen Peptides Protein Powder elevates this berry smoothie to the next level.
