What Are Powdered Greens and Are They Good for You?

Powdered greens are probably the hippest trend in food right now. It’s been endorsed by Gwyneth Paltrow among others and it’s showing up all over TikTok. According to many people, powdered greens have a ton of health benefits. Celebrities are either starting to use them on a daily basis or investing in companies that produce them. There’s even a hashtag #greenspowder that has been viewed three million times on TikTok and has basically nothing else than people raving about how much their health and skin have improved since they started using powdered greens.

But is it really as good as everyone says?

What is it?

First things first: powdered greens are a dietary supplement that you can mix with some water to easily boost your system and get your daily vitamin intake out of the way. It’s made up of a bunch of superfoods like seaweed, kale, broccoli, and antioxidant-rich fruits. Since most people living right now don’t have enough veggies or fruit in their normal diets, this product could be a big step towards getting your body back into balance. As the name pretty bluntly suggests, the fruits and vegetables that are a part of the mix get powdered up together. Most nutritionists say you need about five servings of veggies and fruit per day and one spoonful of powdered greens could take care of about two of those five servings.
