Claims on green powders for weight loss and immune health are often unsubstantiated. Watch out for proprietary blends without ingredient details and opt for freeze-dried products for better ingredient retention, despite being pricier. Avoid powders with sugar, caffeine, and sweeteners which can harm the gut. Choose powders with fewer quality ingredients over those with many, as an excess of ingredients may dilute their effectiveness.
Green powders are everywhere and I’m often asked whether people should invest in getting a green powder to consume every day. And as somebody who drinks a green powder in the mornings, this was a great opportunity for me to do a dive into whether my habit is evidence based!
We’re going to discuss:
- The science behind the claims: Can green powders help with immunity? Gut health? Weight loss? Energy improvements?
- Can they replace eating vegetables?
- Issues with green product formulation and reading labels
- What you need to be aware of before buying
- How to get maximum benefit from green powders, the best green powders out there & my top tips for choosing the right one for you
