What are Green Powders?
Green powders are a way to help individuals reach their daily recommended intake of their greens. But they're not all created equal...

What Are Greens Powders?

Greens powders are formulated slightly differently depending on the brand, but generally they will contain leafy greens (spinach and kale), vegetables (broccoli, carrots), high-antioxidant fruits (blueberries), grasses and usually a fruit source.

There are various types of green powders available in the market today. Some are vegetarian or vegan and others aren't. Finding the right one for you may take some time. However, the more natural the products are, the kinder and more delicate they will be on your body.

The main benefits of consuming Greens:

  1. Nutrient-Dense: Green powders are typically high in naturally occurring essential nutrients. They can be an easy and convenient way to increase your intake of vegetables and other plant-based nutrients.
  2. Digestive Health: Some green powders contain naturally occurring digestive enzymes, and other gut-supportive ingredients that can help improve digestion and support a healthy gut microbiome.
  3. Energy and Focus: Green powders, when taken consistently, can improve your energy levels due to all the nutrients you get in them. 
  4. Immune Support: Many green powders contain immune-supporting ingredients which also support overall health, when taken consistently.

How to Incorporate FS-Greens into Your Diet

The major benefit of adding FS-Greens into your daily routine is that it doesn't take much effort at all. It is quick and easy to consume! All it takes is having your greens powder, a glass and 250ml of water.

We do recommend you having this first thing in the morning so you don’t forget but sometimes this can be a rush for some of us before work. A great tip is setting out your greens station the night before. Leave a glass and your greens next to the kitchen tap then you have no excuses.

Of course, if this doesn't work for you then choose a time that suits you - this can be whenever it works in your schedule.

How to have your Greens Powder

Although we recommend having your greens with 250ml of water, you can have more or less water depending on how you like to drink it. You could have it as a shot if you prefer blended up with some water, chia seeds and ginger - for the ultimate antioxidant boost.

Or, you could pre prepare a greens smoothie to have during the following day. Our FS-Greens is tailored to fit everyone’s needs and routines. All that matters is that you stay consistent with it, every single day!
