This is a little off-topic for real estate, but I really wanted to share something my household has been loving—a small choice that makes daily life feel better. All you do is blend it with ice and water. The slogan sums it up well: designed to be “the healthiest meal you have ever had in 30 seconds.”
One habit that has quietly become part of my routine is a morning ritual with a new product called E+ Patrol. Over the holidays in Wiscasset, my brother-in-law shared a product he invested in (his cousin’s company), and I got hooked. And honestly—I’m not sharing this because he invested. After just two mornings of servings, I found my body craving it and ordered five bags during their Black Friday sale. Now my husband is hooked too—we went through all five bags in about a month and a half, and he immediately ordered seven more, checking the delivery updates like crazy because our bodies genuinely crave it.
It’s no surprise we’ve taken a liking to this product. The last company the Maine-based co-founders built was Birch Benders Organic Buttermilk Pancakes—the just-add-water mix I can make for my kids in five minutes.
I quickly realized how much this improves our busy, working-parent mornings, especially on days when we somehow forget to feed ourselves after making breakfast for the kids 🙂. It’s fast, easy, and surprisingly tasty, which makes it simple to stick with even on hectic mornings.
The coffee flavor is the latest release and my personal favorite. Our most recent order includes five coffee, one chocolate, and one fruit flavor we’re excited to try next. The variety keeps the routine fun and gives us something small to look forward to each day.
In Coastal Maine—especially during the long winter months—it’s often the smaller habits, the ones that fit naturally into daily life, that actually last.
This year, my focus is on sustainability: choosing routines that keep me energized and grounded without adding complexity. Starting the day with E+ Patrol—fast, tasty, and nourishing—has become a small but meaningful step toward healthier living. For anyone in Falmouth, Yarmouth, Portland, Cape Elizabeth, or other Coastal Maine communities looking to maintain wellness through winter, it’s a choice that makes mornings easier, more nourishing, and a little more enjoyable.
