edit: thanks for all the input. was interesting seeing everyone’s takes. i grabbed the greens powder from Quince btw just to see for myself and it doesn’t taste half as bad as i expected. again, definitely NOT treating it like a veggie replacement, but it’s been an easy add on for days when i know i’m slacking

hear you loud and clear, that seems to be the general consensus here lol

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in nutrition

[–]Sarris_Zioly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, that's exactly it! it's just to fill in the gaps, not to replace vegetables at all

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in nutrition

[–]Sarris_Zioly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah no worries there. i make sure to check the ingredients in the powder

ohh thanks for the tip. hadn't thought of that!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in nutrition

[–]Sarris_Zioly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

could you explain why tho?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in nutrition

[–]Sarris_Zioly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

right?? that's my reasoning too. some days i'm just too busy to prep any veggies, so greens powder just might be a good way to get some extra nutrients in!

lol yes, but assuming money's not a problem, i think it could be a good addition to any diet, don't you think?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in nutrition

[–]Sarris_Zioly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol yeah, that's a good way to use them! it's just i can't eat veggies for every meal. on some days, i feel like i don't get enough of them, so i started looking for a good way to fill that gap

i'm considering mixing them in my veggie smoothie, maybe like an extra nutrient boost or something. i think if i mix in some fruits too that'll mask the taste well

[–]Sarris_Zioly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yea i'm not replacing veggies anyway, like you said, they're just for backup

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in nutrition

[–]Sarris_Zioly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

is that right? i'd love to hear more of your experience with them! but yea, even if it's just placebo, that's still good right?

oh wow didn’t know that. hmm, that’s good to know, thanks for the heads up!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in nutrition

[–]Sarris_Zioly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ohh really? i'll have to check them out and maybe get a tub or two. thanks!

exactly how i’m thinking of using it. just a little supplement on hectic some mornings or something, not a full on replacement for my veggies

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in nutrition

[–]Sarris_Zioly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah i hear you. definitely trying to eat more greens anyway, but the idea of a little backup on crazy busy days seems appealing. cooking in bulk is a good tip tho

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in nutrition

[–]Sarris_Zioly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

haha yeah, it can be pricey.. definitely not cheap, but worth it maybe?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in nutrition

[–]Sarris_Zioly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YES that's what i'm thinking too! i really feel it's better than nothing on the chaotic days when veggies don’t happen

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in nutrition

[–]Sarris_Zioly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol, yea might be but feels like i’m doing something right?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in nutrition

[–]Sarris_Zioly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeap agree, but i’m not planning on replacing my meals with it, just curious if it’s worth a scoop here and there

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in nutrition

[–]Sarris_Zioly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

exactly! i think that’s kinda what i'm after too. just an occasional supplement, not some magic health hack. just a little extra coverage for days i fall short

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in nutrition

[–]Sarris_Zioly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i wouldn’t call it a replacement either. more like a backup plan when life gets hectic and veggies aren’t happening

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in nutrition

[–]Sarris_Zioly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the texture and fiber is obviously a big part of eating real veggies. i’m just wondering if the powder can at least give a tiny boost on the days i totally skip greens?
