Nutritional supplements and meal replacements
Nutritional supplements and meal replacements are formulated products designed to provide a convenient, balanced source of nutrition, often in the form of powders, shakes, or bars. They typically contain a blend of proteins (like whey or soy), carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals. While not a traditional 'dish,' they are a modern dietary solution originating from the health and fitness industry.
