A Product We RDNS Recommend: EO3 by Olivia Mancabelli, MA, RD2BE

Why an RD loves EO3!

This little bottle packs a powerful punch. Not only does it provide 20 grams of protein from whey and collagen, but it contains complex carbohydrates from apple, pear, and blackcurrant juices. Better yet, it contains antioxidants and vitamins such as vitamin D and vitamin E. With 100% Norwegian cod liver oil, this smoothie presents the body with 1600 mg of omega-3 fatty acids, 820 mg from DHA and 550 mg from EPA. Lastly, this smoothie contains carnitine for transporting those essential fatty acids through the body to be used for energy.

Nutrients of EO3!

So, let’s talk more about those nutrients! The whey protein and collagen builds and repairs muscles and bones as well as aiding in hormone and enzyme production. Those complex carbohydrates from the fruit juices provide the body with its main source of energy. This smoothie has vitamin D as well as vitamin E and vitamin C, powerful antioxidants that remove potentially damaging oxidizing agents from the body. A surprise mineral in the smoothie that is more important than we think: iodine! That’s right iodine, that helps to treat goiters and some thyroid issues. The major player in this smoothie are the omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3s help to regulate blood clotting as well as contraction and relaxation of the arteries. Moreso, omega-3 fatty acids have proven anti-inflammatory properties aiding in heart and immune system protection.

One a Day!

Now, I have tried my fair share of protein smoothies or shakes. No matter the flavor (usually chocolate or strawberry for me), they leave a weird chalk-like taste in my mouth. They leave a strange after taste. NOPE, NOT EO3! That I must say is the main thing I absolutely fell in love with about this product. It tastes exactly like how it smells and looks: a sweet berry apple smoothie. It is smooth. It is creamy. And it is shelf stable? You bet! Although, I do prefer it cold or blended with ice and a banana for an even more power-packed smoothie. But I love that I can take it on the go with me on the way to my dietetic internship rotations! I feel good after drinking it. It is refreshing and delicious. Go get yourself an EO3 and try it today!
