Eat your greens!  We’ve all heard this as a child (or heard ourselves say it to our children).  As an adult we may have decided that it would be good to add a green powder to our supplement program but this good intention falls by the wayside with our first sip of green powder.  I’ve heard it more than once – “I can’t stand the taste of green powders, they’re so……so……..fishy!" 

I am here to encourage you to try again. The benefits of concentrated greens are vast – it would be too bad to miss out on them because you had one unpleasant taste experience.  I recall a national meeting at MegaFood when Stacey Gillespie (our Organic Greens formulator) introduced us to the product she had created for MegaFood.  She wanted to see how the taste of her formulation compared to some of the other greens powders on the market.  We were all given 3 small cups labeled 1, 2 and 3 and asked to rate them for palatability.  Without thinking too much about it we all picked up cup number one and chugged it back.  For a few seconds there was an almost deafening silence followed by a loud spontaneous yell of “NO” by our West Coast Regional Sales Manager Eileen.  She had uncontrollably shouted out what we were all thinking.  I almost choked on laughter and we were all mighty relieved to learn that cup number 1 did not contain the MegaFood greens formula.  I do sometimes wonder, however, if Stacey gave us that product first because she knew anything would taste good after that.

That being said, I have come to love and appreciate our Organic Greens – which is one of the most comprehensive formulas I have tried in 20 years of being in the health food industry.  In a single serving you get over 1,000 grams of 14 anti-aging super foods, plant based omega 3, 6 and 9, raw hemp protein, 3 billion non-dairy probiotics, a comprehensive digestive enzyme blend to ensure you assimilate maximum nutrition from the fibrous greens, and a blend of gender specific herbs to support immunity and all round health.

To most of our customers MegaFood Organic Greens tastes great simply mixed with water.  I personally like to experiment with different recipes – just for the fun of it.  It turns out there are quite a variety of ways that you can incorporate greens into your daily meals.  I will periodically share my findings with you.  The first recipe was my morning smoothie – I guarantee it scores high on the delicious factor and it looks beautiful and makes you feel utterly vibrant.  I call it my Mohave Sunset Smoothie.

Recipe:

Water from 1 young coconut

Flesh of 1 ripe mango

½ banana

1 scoop of MegaFood Organic Greens

Blend the first 3 ingredients and pour a little of the smoothie into a glass.  

Add the greens to the blender and blend. 

Combine the green smoothie with the original mango mixture and watch them blend into a beautiful Mojave Sunset. 

Enjoy.
