Diet & Nutrition Good Green Vitality

Green powders are recognized as a convenient and reliable vegetable alternative as it saves time for people to buy them from the market. Some would prefer to consume green powder as they don't fancy the taste of many vegetables at all. Hence, does it mean that green powders are good enough to replace vegetables?

It is a fact that green powders are nutritional formulas that can aid in detoxification, immune function, digestion, and cognition. However, they're not formulated to replace vegetables forever. The primary purpose of green powder is to help bridge nutrition gaps.

Yes, it is a misconception that green powders alone can replace vegetables in the diet. It is a sadly misleading idea that needs clarity.

In this article, we will explore the wonders of green powders, their health benefits, and the reason why it is still essential for you to consume vegetables despite consuming this supplement.

What are Green Powders?

Green powders are dietary supplements made from different plant sources that were dried and blended into powdered form. They are commonly made from dried leafy greens and other types of vegetables. Some green powder products use seaweed, grasses, fruits, and herbs.

We all know that vegetables are essential for our health. Vegetables are rich in nutrients that are vital for the health and maintenance of the body. Apparently, people who hit their daily recommended intake for vegetables are less prone to risks of certain chronic diseases.

Somehow, some people do not just enjoy the trouble washing and cooking vegetables daily, while some do not fancy having vegetables on their plates. These are some of the reasons why they would opt to take green powders instead.

The formulation of green powders is designed to help meet your daily recommended nutrient intake coming from vegetables and other whole foods. With just one chug, you just saved yourself from the time you needed to prepare vegetable dishes.

Furthermore, green powders are popularly identified as vegan, organic, and non-GMO. You can always see these claims on the product label.

Can You Replace Vegetables with Green Powder?

It is clear and proven that eating various vegetables is vital to optimize your nutritional status and lower your risk of certain lifestyle diseases.

However, you should never take out whole vegetables from your diet and only use green powder as a substitute. Keep in mind that your green powders do not serve as a replacement for your vegetables. Green powders work as your dietary supplement to increase your daily nutrient intake.

Apparently, you can just have both! Consuming green powder and vegetables can help hit the goals of your daily nutrient intake. You have your vegetables to give you a good chunk of nutrients while your green powder fills in the nutrient gaps in your diet.

Eating whole vegetables gives you the satisfaction of chewing and promotes fullness. How? That is because vegetables are high in fiber and water. It adds more bulk to your meals and helps fill your stomach to fullness.

Note that an adult's recommended dietary fiber intake should be 25 to 30 grams a day, coming from vegetables and fruits. That is approximately equivalent to more than five servings of fruits and vegetables each day.   With just consuming green powder alone, your stomach won't be happy with it. It will be looking for something to digest, and you'll get hungry sooner!

Greens powders contain a low amount of fiber. A serving of it typically provides 1–2 grams only. Thus, it does not give much bulk than what you can get from whole foods in general.
