Smack is a pre-workout supplement from Vices & Vibes. It’s a high stim pre-workout, containing 300 mg of DMHA, 300 mg of caffeine from multiple sources, and 250 mg of eria jarensis.
Even though this supplement is called smack, the effects are smooth and, at times, subtle. The most notable effects are focus and some mood elevation. This is definitely not an over-the-top energy kind of experience, nor is it aggressive.

I’m always on the lookout for tasty, high-protein snacks. After years of looking, I honestly still haven’t found “the one.”
Usually, they either taste terrible or contain a lot of sugar alcohols that make them difficult to digest. For those not in the know, “difficult to digest” is code for “makes me gassy.”
Alright well now that we know each other a bit better, I’m happy to share that Naked Nutrition’s oatmeal protein cookies are super tasty and leave my bathroom intact.
A true protein cookie miracle.
