Get Your Greens On!
Bottoms Up!
In the quest for optimal health, we often hear about the importance of consuming a diverse range of fruits and vegetables. Yet, in the hustle and bustle of modern life, meeting these nutritional goals can sometimes be challenging. That's where greens powder swoops in as a superhero, offering a convenient and potent solution to ensure you're getting your daily dose of essential nutrients. Let's delve into why you should care about incorporating greens powder into your routine and how it can positively impact your health.
But first, my personal story.
I was resistant to this idea at first - how would it taste? Why do I need this? I love to eat veggies and I typically get a variety each day, BUT like most people, I am a creature of habit and I tend to have a similar set of vegetables in the rotation for food prep and family dinners - usually broccoli, cauliflower, kale, carrots and Brussels sprouts.
I know there are whole families of veggies (like the purples and the reds) that I am not getting regularly. So, I kept an open mind. And now, years later, I am so glad I started and that my girls join me in taking greens shots too!
But Why supplement greens?
Antioxidant Powerhouse: Greens powder isn't just any ordinary supplement; it's a concentrated source of antioxidants that can help combat oxidative stress in the body. Antioxidants play a crucial role in neutralizing harmful free radicals, which can damage cells and contribute to various health issues, including premature aging and chronic diseases such as cancer and heart disease.
Rainbow of Colors, Nutrient-Rich Benefits: The vibrant colors of fruits and vegetables are not just for visual appeal; they signify a diverse array of nutrients present in these foods. However, it's not always feasible to consume a rainbow of fruits and veggies every day. Greens powder comes to the rescue by offering a concentrated blend of nutrient-rich greens, including kale, spinach, broccoli, and more. This means you can easily reap the benefits of a wide spectrum of vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients without spending hours in the kitchen or breaking the bank at the grocery store.
Boosted Immunity and Overall Wellness: A robust immune system is your body's first line of defense against illness and infection. By providing a potent dose of vitamins A, C, and E, along with other immune-supportive nutrients like zinc and selenium, greens powder can help strengthen your immune response and keep you feeling your best year-round. Additionally, the alkalizing properties of greens powder can help balance pH levels in the body, promoting overall wellness and vitality.
Convenient and Versatile: One of the most significant advantages of greens powder is its convenience. Whether you're a busy professional, a dedicated athlete, or a parent on the go, incorporating greens powder into your daily routine is quick and hassle-free. Simply mix it into water, smoothies, or your favorite beverage for an instant nutrient boost anytime, anywhere. Plus, it's a great option for those with dietary restrictions or limited access to fresh produce.
How do I choose the right one for me?
There are loads of options on the market today, so I definitely recommend doing your research because they are not all created equally. Or if you’d rather take it from me (someone who cares about quality ingredients and with a background in nutrition) I will tell you that hands down Arbonne has the best greens I have had, and I have tried a LOT!
If you aren’t familiar with Arbonne, check out the Ingredient Policy but watch out, you might meet your new obsession! :)
Even within Arbonne, there are TWO types of greens powders and I love them both…for different reasons.
One of the most popular bundles is the Green Gut Glow set and then last year Arbonne launched the Green Synergy Elixir which is my new favorite! If you’re curious the difference, keep reading.
Green Gut Glow Bundle
The BeWell Superfood Greens also contains all kinds of other goodies like spirulina and powerful phytonutrients + antioxidants. I also understand the benefits of collagen supplementation, but I get grossed out by the idea of putting ground up pig and cow parts in my body - this vegan SkinElixir Collagen Builder is formulated with skin boosting vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, and biotin to support collagen production for radiant skin, hair and nails. I swear I can tell a huge difference in the strength and length of my fingernails when I am consistent with this. I have friends whose hairdressers can tell their hair texture and growth has improved with this product too. And finally, the GutHealth Digestion & Microbiome Support with prebiotics and probiotics and 13 key digestive enzymes to support digestion and a healthy microbiome for less bloat. I have used this and swear by it for many years!
Add all three together for a yummy green cocktail that will provide nutrition support, less bloat, and glowing skin!
Order your GGG Bundle, and then be sure to grab a frother (mixing tool) to blend your ingredients.
