If you've ever stared at the protein shake aisle wondering whether you're buying a diet-friendly superblend or just expensive chocolate milk, you're not alone. The world of protein shakes can feel like trying to choose a movie on Netflix—so many options, but which one will hit the spot?

Milk has been a staple for humans for thousands of years, and there's evidence that we started drinking it even before we could digest it well. (That period of evolution as we were developing the genes to digest dairy was probably a little … unpleasant.)

One of the biggest selling points of intermittent fasting is that it's all about when you eat rather than what you eat. And it's totally flexible and customizable to your body, goals, and preferences. That's right: if you're a cake lover, rejoice.

Whether you're a carnivore, herbivore, or somewhere in between, you can easily incorporate intermittent fasting into your daily routine. Intermittent fasting doesn't require any special type of diet, which means that you have lots of options, for instance, if you're someone who prefers a plant-based or vegan diet.

There are many ways to adjust your diet or the way you eat. Ever tried mixing up your meal times with intermittent fasting? We're big fans of that method around here. Another increasingly popular approach is plant-based eating, which is good not only for your health but also for the planet.

Intermittent fasting isn't a diet. Instead, it's a way of eating that involves alternating fasting and eating windows. Sometimes you eat, and sometimes you don't. And ideally, when you do eat, you make healthy choices.
