The Best Protein Powder Deals and Wellness Supplements to Grab This Black Friday
The wellness industry is a wild marketplace. You can’t trust the marketing alone, and FDA regulation is quite limited. It pays to be cautious. So for this year’s Black Friday, we sifted through the markdowns, cross-checked claims, verified third-party tests, and sampled the supplements so you don’t have to. If you’re looking to stock up or invest in a healthier routine, these are wellness supplements and protein powder deals we’d trust with both our own bodies and wallet.
I’ll be refreshing this list with the latest sales, so check back often. For more intel, check out our Best Black Friday Deals roundup or our Black Friday liveblog.

Best Protein Powder Deals
Ritual’s Essential Protein Daily Shake is our top recommendation for women’s protein powder. It’s generally pricier than its competitors, but a $15 discount makes the cost more digestible. Its pea protein is enhanced with L-methionine, and each serving also contains four grams of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs). Ritual is a great supplement for sensitive stomachs as it’s free from GMOs, stevia, sugar alcohols, and artificial sweeteners. It’s also soy-free, gluten-free, and vegan. Bonus: It’s certified by the Clean Label Project.
Promix Grass-Fed Whey Isolate is a highly digestible protein powder that has been micro-filtered to contain less than 1 gram of lactose, which makes it suitable for individuals with sensitive stomachs. Each scoop delivers 30 grams of protein, as well as 6.6 grams of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) and 14.2 grams of essential amino acids. It’s obviously made for protein shakes, but I personally prefer using this supplement in baked goods.
Best Electrolyte Powder Deals
If reviewer Louryn Strampe had a music festival starter pack, Liquid I.V. would be an essential. After downing one of these, her sore throat, dry nostrils, and head instantly feel better. Liquid I.V. comes in 20-plus flavors that will make your water taste sweeter, like passion fruit, mango, and strawberry lemonade. Each packet comes with electrolytes and eight vitamins and nutrients, including vitamin C and B vitamins.
If you prefer fizzy tablets that you can just throw into a glass or water bottle, Plink is refreshing and offers a carbonation that recalls seltzer water. (Though, if you do toss it into a water bottle, leave it momentarily open so the gases can escape.) Plink comes in three flavors—Pineapple Grapefruit, Watermelon, and Pomegranate Berry—but I’d recommend the Variety Pack if you’re new to the brand.
Reviewer Louryn Strampe loves the Peach Mango flavor, but she’d also recommend the Blueberry Pomegranate and Piña Colada. In addition to electrolytes, each packet also contains lion’s mane mushroom and magnesium L-threonate to boost cognitive health. Fortunately, according to Strampe, the mix doesn’t taste like shrooms, but it does have an earthy tang to it.
Reviewer Louryn Strampe’s favorite electrolyte mix for hangovers, Electrolit has been around since 1950 (!) and its packets are both generously sized and contain a balanced mix of sodium, carbohydrates, and sugars. All flavors are 33 percent off on Amazon right now, including the Variety Pack.
Best Greens Powder Deals
Bloom Nutrition
Superfood Greens Powder
Bloom’s powder includes pre- and probiotics, fruits and vegetables, antioxidants, adaptogens, and digestive enzymes. Reviewer Louryn Strampe says drinking Bloom helps her regulate her digestive system and feel less bloated. Plus, the fruity flavor doesn’t taste like greens.

Factor
Form Daily Greens
This greens powder has a light citrus flavor and offers one full serving of vegetables and vitamins within the recommended daily amount (no megadoses). It comes in convenient single-serve packets, making it easy to take along on your travels for a health kick.
Organifi
Green Juice Powder
This is a reliable greens powder (organic spirulina, Ashwagandha, and chlorella) with minimal grit. Reviewer Louryn Strampe says it tastes like spearmint gum, but the Pomegranate Berry variation is also on sale if you prefer a fruitier palette.

Grüns
Superfood Gummies
Grüns Gummies are ideal for those who can’t down green powders, have kids, or prefer an on-the-go supplement. The Superfood Gummies contain 60 ingredients, from vitamins and minerals to greens (kale, cabbage, wheatgrass) and antioxidants (like goji berry and pomegranate).
Best Energy Drink Deals
Jocko Go
Orange (12-Pack)
Jocko Willink’s energy drink is a monkfruit-sweetened beverage that tastes like Sunny D and Stevia. It’s only 95 milligrams of caffeine, but it also contains 100 milligrams of B vitamins, which is more than 4,000 percent of the daily recommendation.
Gorilla Mind
Orange Rush (12-Pack)
This is a 200-milligram energy drink boosted with nootropics like N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine and Alpha-GPC. Reviewer Pete Cottell says the Orange flavor is elite with its creamy finish, but other flavors are on sale, too, including the Variety Pack.
Lucky Energy Drink
Orange Drizzle (12-Pack)
An understated beverage for people who might not like the traditional taste of energy drinks. According to reviewer Pete Cottell, it provides enhanced focus and a steady boost of energy thanks to its 200 milligrams of caffeine.
Phx
Orange Hydration Energy Drink (12-Pack)
This energy drink is a great option for those who want to avoid sugary beverages but still want a little flavor to mask the 700 milligrams of electrolytes. Our favorite is Orange, but other options are also on sale, including Blueberry Lemonade and Wild Berry.
Gorgie
Sparkling Peach Tea (12-Pack)
This is a mild energy drink with 150 milligrams of caffeine that offers a productive buzz. Reviewer Pete Cottell describes the taste as a Diet Peach Snapple diluted with club soda.
Accelerator
Peach Paradise (12-Pack)
This is a mild energy drink with 150 milligrams of caffeine that doesn’t cause headaches or jitters. The peach flavor is not overly sweet, but other flavors are discounted as well, including Tropical Punch and Rocket Pop.
G Fuel
Snow Cone (12-Pack)
Allegedly the official energy drink of Esports, and it contains 300 milligrams of caffeine. A Reddit commenter said it “tastes like what a clown would taste like.”
