Hey there, how's it going?
Now before we get into it today, let me ask you a question.
Have you eaten a vegetable?
If you just panicked and mentally searched your memory for a rogue, lysis leaf in your
burger, this episode is for you.
Today we are talking about greens powders.
Now first off, I'd like to say that I love having a juice every morning.
We have a cold-pressed juice at home.
I get up half an hour earlier and I juice ginger, beetroot, spinach, celery and carrots.
And I think that is one of the best ways to stop the day.
But not everybody has a juicer or has an extra 30 minutes in the morning.
So I think greens powders are a great option.
So some people swear by them, others just say it's expensive grass.
So I'm here to tell you what the deal is.
Our greens powders are legit health heck or just wellness marketing in the tub.
So let's break it down.
At the most basic level, a greens powder is a concentrated dry, a blend of dried and
powdered plants.
So we're talking things like spinach, kale, broccoli, spirulina, wheat grass, a falter, maybe
some mushrooms, maybe some probiotics, digestive enzymes and adaptogens for bonus points.
They're usually dehydrated at low temps, ground into a fine powder and sold as a scoop
a day shortcut to being the kind of person who eats nine servings of vegetables.
So far so good, right?
But here's the big question, do they actually do anything?
First up, let's be honest, most people think they eat well.
Now when you actually even track it, not even close.
According to research, most people don't hit their daily target for fiber, magnesium,
potassium and yes, definitely greens.
So greens powders can act like a nutritional insurance policy.
You're not replacing real food, but you are filling in gaps on days when you'll plate
more looks like a beige buffet than a rainbow bowl.
That rich in vitamins like C, K, folate, minerals like iron and calcium, antioxidants that
fight off free radicals and chlorophyll, which yes has benefits beyond just making your smoothie
look like a swamp water.
