As someone always on the hunt for wellness products that actually fit into real life (read: busy mornings, small people, cranky dog, tired husband, and caffeine cravings), I’d been hearing a consistent buzz about Supernova Living. With their promise of hormonal balance, reduced bloating, better skin, and even improved mood (all from a chocolatey adaptogenic powder) it felt too good not to try…
The Woman blend is described as a vegan, organic daily ritual designed to support women through stress, fatigue, gut health and more. The ingredients are solid: ashwagandha, camu camu, psyllium husk, pea protein, and cacao, among others. Everything you’d expect from a clean wellness brand. The standout for me, though, is the coconut shell scoop that comes with it. Nothing at all to do with the good the product is menat to do but it adds a little bit of joy to my bleary-eyed mornings. a
First Impressions
On opening, the packaging is premium and minimal, almost like a beauty product, not a supplement. The smell is earthy with a hint of chocolate, which is reassuring if you’ve dabbled in other ‘green’ powders that tend to hit you like a compost bin. That said, there is a bit of trial and error with how you mix it. But that’s all about your personal taste. Too little milk or water and it’s powdery. Too much, and it can feel diluted and a bit chalky. I’ve landed on blending it with almond or oat milk and adding a few ice cubes, it softens the taste and improves the texture massively.
It’s not a sweet drink, and that’s important to note. There are no artificial sweeteners or sugars, which I love in principle, but it might be a bit of an adjustment if you’re used to flavoured protein powders or hot chocolate-like supplements. It’s subtle, natural, slightly bitter (like proper chocolate) more functional than indulgent.
Results?
After about two weeks of consistent use, I noticed I felt more balanced in the mornings, less jittery, less of a mid-morning energy crash. Whether that’s the ashwagandha doing its thing or just the act of taking a quiet moment to look after myself, I’m not sure. Either way, it worked. My skin also looked a bit clearer, though I wouldn’t say it was a miracle product. It’s more of a slow burn, but it quietly supports, which feels like enough.
The Family Test
I also roped in the rest of the household. My husband tried MAN, which comes in handy individual sachets great for travel or just chucking in a work bag. Sadly, he’s in the middle of a job change, so any potential “mood-lifting, energy-balancing” benefits were lost to the general chaos. He did say it tasted better than most supplements he’s tried, and he appreciated not having to measure anything out.
Then there’s KIDS which is packed with protein, fibre, and 19 vitamins and minerals ideal for sneaking goodness into a six-year-old who thinks fruit is an inconvenience. I’ve blended it into smoothies and even stirred it into porridge with a bit of maple syrup. She hasn’t complained once, which is a minor miracle.
Worth It?
At £40 for a 480g tub, it’s not a casual purchase. It falls firmly into the ‘luxury wellness’ bracket. But if you’re someone who enjoys wellness as ritual—who appreciates a beautifully made product and likes the idea of nourishing yourself (and your family) in a stylish way—it ticks a lot of boxes. It’s not magic dust, but it’s a lovely step in the right direction.
And sometimes, starting the day with a quiet scoop of something good (preferably with a coconut shell) is just the kind of small luxury we all need.
