Its protein shakes and energizing teas are a practical solution for anyone seeking a convenient and effective way to boost their health and energy. These beverages provide many benefits, making them an excellent choice for individuals looking to enhance fitness, productivity, and their overall well-being.

Located at 111 Ossipee Trail Unit 2 in the Hannaford Plaza in Standish, Sebago Nutrition is owned and operated by three generations of a family including a mother, Carole Pierce, her daughter, Jessica Salazar, and granddaughter, Tiana Salazar.

“We offer healthy sugar-free energizing teas that give you the ‘pick me up’ that you are looking for without the crash,” Jessica said. “We also offer healthy plant-based protein shakes that are a complete meal replacement, all having under 300 calories, 24 grams of protein, and low in sugar. And lastly, we offer protein iced coffee which is made with 15 grams of whey protein, 100 calories, and 1 gram of sugar per serving.”

The health benefits of protein shakes include the role it plays in muscle building and repair. Protein is a crucial macronutrient that helps rebuild muscle fibers. Consuming protein shakes after a workout provides the body with a quick and easily digestible source of protein, aiding in faster recovery and muscle growth. For athletes and fitness enthusiasts, this means improved performance and reduced muscle soreness. Protein shakes can also be an effective tool for weight management by increasing feelings of fullness and reduced appetite, which can prevent overeating and snacking on unhealthy foods. By incorporating protein shakes into a balanced diet, health experts say individuals can maintain a healthy weight or achieve their weight loss goals more effectively. Additionally, many protein shakes are low in calories and fat, making them a guilt-free option for those watching their caloric intake or a way to obtain essential nutrients on the go.

Energizing teas such as those found at Sebago Nutrition provide a natural and sustained energy boost. Infused with ingredients like green tea, these teas offer a more balanced and gradual increase in energy levels compared to sugary energy drinks or excessive caffeine consumption. The combination of antioxidants, vitamins, and natural stimulants helps improve alertness and focus without the jittery feeling or energy crash associated with other energy-boosting products.

Certain teas, such as green tea, are known to enhance metabolism and promote fat burning. The catechins and polyphenols found in these teas help increase hermogenesis, the process by which the body burns calories to produce heat. By incorporating energizing teas into their daily routine, individuals can support their weight loss efforts and improve their metabolic rate, leading to increased energy expenditure and better overall health. The combination of caffeine and L-theanine, an amino acid found in these teas, promotes a state of calm alertness. This synergy enhances cognitive function, improves concentration, and reduces mental fatigue. For students, professionals, and anyone needing to stay sharp throughout the day, energizing teas can be a valuable addition to their routine.

“We offer a warm and inviting atmosphere with comfortable seating for both relaxation and productivity,” Tiana said. “Our journey started with the desire for healthier beverage choices, but it has evolved into a lifestyle. We are committed to providing our community with nourishing shakes and energizing drinks that have positively impacted our own lives.”

Sebago Nutrition offers convenient online ordering for pickup and their products are affordable and right in line with other local businesses offering refreshing beverages. Its protein shakes and teas are made to order every time.

“We welcome questions of any kind and if we do not know the answer, we will find it,” Jessica said. “Informing our customers of the nutrients and benefits of our products is very important to us. We want to know what we are putting in our bodies, so we want our customers to have the same knowledge. There isn't another nutrition club in the general vicinity and people have repeatedly expressed how excited they are that we are here and have opened.”

Online reviews are exceptional.
