If you’ve ever bought a supplement with the very best intentions… only to find it sitting unopened in the cupboard weeks later, you’re not alone.

Most of us don’t struggle with knowing what might support our health, we struggle with consistency. Not because we’re lazy or unmotivated - but because life is full, energy fluctuates, and complicated routines rarely survive contact with real life.

So this guide isn’t about doing more, it’s about doing what actually works.

The habit you don’t need

Let’s start here. You don’t need:
- a perfect morning routine
- a colour-coded supplement schedule
- a version of yourself who suddenly loves complexity

You don’t need to “become someone new” to take your blends consistently. In fact, the more a habit requires planning, tracking, or willpower, the less likely it is to stick - especially in midlife, when energy is precious and decision fatigue is real.

The goal isn’t optimisation, it’s integration.

The habit stack that actually works

The simplest way to take your blends consistently is to attach them to something you already do. This is called habit stacking - and it works because it removes decision-making from the equation.

Instead of asking “When should I take this?”
You’re simply saying “I take this when I do that.”

Here are a few combinations that work beautifully together.

Daily Hydration + Creatine

Best for: movement days, busy days, hot days, tired days

These two work perfectly together in a drink bottle.
- Add them to water before a walk, ride, Pilates session or gym visit
- Or sip throughout the morning if hydration tends to be an afterthought

It’s simple, portable, and doesn’t require a separate moment in your day.

Daily Greens + Unflavoured Marine Collagen + Creatine

Best for: mornings, breakfast routines, “set yourself up” days

This is an easy, no-fuss stack that covers a lot of bases.
- Stir into water alongside breakfast
- Or add to yoghurt, a smoothie, or your usual morning ritual

Because they’re unflavoured, they combine easily - and once this becomes part of your morning, it tends to stick.

Maca + Marine Collagen with Kakadu & Davidson Plum (raspberry)

Best for: slower mornings, nourishing breakfasts, gentle energy

This is a beautiful pairing if you enjoy flavour and ritual.
- Stir through yoghurt or muesli
- Add to porridge or a smoothie
- Or use in bliss balls or breakfast bowls

It feels supportive rather than stimulating, and many people find it’s a combination they actually look forward to.

How many blends should you take at once?

There’s no prize for taking everything. Some people love a full stack, others do best with one or two blends that meet them where they are right now.

Both approaches are valid.

If you’re just starting, it’s often better to:
- begin with one anchor blend
- let it become automatic
- then build from there if it feels right

Consistency matters far more than quantity.

What to do when you miss a day

This part is important. If you miss a day (or a week), you don’t need to:
- double up
- “make up for it”
- start again on Monday
- feel like you’ve failed

You simply… resume. Health habits aren’t fragile - they don’t fall apart because of one missed day. The most sustainable routines are the ones that allow for real life - travel, tiredness, sickness, holidays, busy seasons - without turning them into a problem.

The quiet goal

The real aim of taking your blends daily isn’t perfection, it’s that moment where you realise:
- you didn’t have to think about it
- it just happened
- it quietly supported you in the background

That’s when a habit has truly landed. Not because you changed who you are - but because the habit finally fit the life you already have.

If you take one thing from this

Don’t aim to do it right, aim to do it regularly.

Choose blends that support where you are now.
Attach them to habits you already have.
And let consistency - not enthusiasm - do the work.

You don’t need a new version of yourself, you just need a routine that meets you where you are.
