Get Your Daily Dose of Greens (The Easy Way)

Unlesss you’ve been living under a nutrient-news rock, you’re likely familiar with the popularity (and benefits!) of consuming greens.

They’re snuck into smoothies.

They’re chummy with mac n’ cheese.

They’re warped into wraps.

They’re the names of restaurants, have cookbooks dedicated to them, and just like us, they treat themselves to massages.

And after all this, maybe we still love them. But maybe—just maybe—we’re starting to get a little sick of them.

So that’s when we say thanks to companies like Genuine Health who make it much easier to get our daily dose.

Though they’ve been making their greens+ line for over 20 years, they’ve finally added a new one to the mix: one that is completely gluten and wheat-free, free of soy and dairy, and vegan-friendly.

The new greens+ O (which stands for organic) comes in two flavors: açaï and original. Both varieties are loaded with 20+ ingredients, including the earth-hued likes of spirulina, broccoli, alfalfa, and dulse.

Unlike some food and supplement companies that tout the benefits of their products without specific backing information, Genuine Health has done extensive research ensuring to provide accurate information with the benefits of greens+. From cancer-fighting agents to energy enhancers, this antioxidant-loaded greens product has been linked to preventing oxidative damage to cells. And though the ingredient list is widespread, the fact that it features pronouncable ingredients we eat in our daily lives puts potential ambiguity at bay.

But there’s only one way to get the benefits of greens+ O and that’s, well, to actually use it. The instructions indicate to mix 1 scoop (which is enclosed) in 1 cup of water or juice, shake well, then consume.

The Highlights:

• The dose of veggies (six servings of vegetables per serving) is undeniably helpful when we opt to indulge in a vegless feast

• It’s completely allergen-free, which is rare when it comes getting to greens products sans gluten and wheat

• The texture is good—for real. Even the original version. No grittiness here.

• It contains 75% to 80% organic ingredients (depending on flavor)

• It pretty much dissolves in liquid for a quick swig, but also can be mixed into your morning cereal or smoothie, sprinkled on your dinner, or mixed into nearly anything.

• Genuine Health products are easy to find on the store shelves.

If you want an all-natural way to amp up your diet, it certainly delivers. And if you want to give it a whirl but are watching your wallet? Use it as a few-times-a-week addition to your diet instead of in your daily consumption.
