    I prefer to eat actual yummy green (or other color) real foods, not an ultra-processed food product like this.

    If you like it, and it fits in your calorie and nutrition goals well, that's great, sincerely.

    Others considering it might want to read reviews from dietitians, such as this one:

    "A single container of Kiala Greens, which contains approximately 30 servings, typically retails for around $49.95. This makes the cost per serving to be about $1.65."
    Yeah, sorry...i don't think it's healthy to eat too many greens. What about oxalates? I just buy a 5 oz package of Organic Girl Super Greens every week. It's about 4 cups of greens for less than $5 here.

    Not a fan of powdered drinks myself.

    Or green smoothies, even from fresh ingredients.

    It's a no from me.

    There’s nothing wrong with using powdered greens supplements if it fits your lifestyle.

    Honestly I did choke a bit when I saw the price. But then I remembered my enjoyment of dehydrated fruits as a healthy snack, and they’re about 25% more expensive per serving.

    I get my vitamin boost the old fashioned way, with a store brand One-A-Day knock off. And I supplement my fiber with plain ol’ off brand Metamucil.
    There are folks who would rather go the Whole Foods route.
    Whatever works for you.

    Diet isnt magic. It doesnt require super special substances. $50 can go a lot further buying produce, and you'll even get fiber with it.

    You are certainly allowed to spend your money on whatever you want.

    But these “super greens” supplement products are often very little nutritional value for a lot of money.

    If the convenience is worth the price to you?
    That’s great.

    Are they better than no freggies?

    I would think so.... ?

    I used some veggie pills for awhile.... and powder strikes me as a similar concept.

    And considered other types of things, krill oil, spirulina, seaweed/nori... for the potential health benefits of such...
    -- but, to be honest, it is hard to discern truth thru the marketing, and upshot, i don't know what to believe. Transitioned to whole, real food.

    This.

    I was surprised... always thought 'diet food' aka rabbit food or freggies and such were too expensive. However, shopping sales and eating enough, not too much... of essential amounts of real food turned out to be less expensive than regular junk food and take out.

    However, took awhile to find a variety of freggies i would be willing to eat. Initially supplemented on doctors advice with an all in 1 type daily vitamin. Moved to freggie pills under the concept condensed freggies would be healthier, then transitioned to whole foods, but it evolved over time.

    yes it is.

    But in a thread on an open forum that many people could read - it is relevant to other people to point out the cost of the product.
    and any pros or cons of the product compared to other sources of greens - like fresh vegetables.

    The question is better in what? You'd need to find an actual peer-reviewed study which shows that powdered hyperprocessed veggies still have some nutritional value, vitamins, other useful stuff.

    Yeah, if i were of a scientific type. I really can't sort the techno speak jargon in studies...

    I do however think that the post by op is worthy of discussion beyond people stopping by to say no, bad... This is not in the debate forum, and the nature of replies here is kind of intimidating and shuts down broader discussion of how using such a product might actually be helpful for some people who might not have time or desire to extract from mounds of fresh freggies.

    “Flagging” posts who politely disagree. Not cool.


    You can flag me now,

    Nods, a lot of posts flagged here, especially OP. No idea why... don't see how any of it violates guidelines.

    Re helpful discussion... bold in following quote sent me down rabbit hole to explore the word and possible concern...

    48138631"]"A single container of Kiala Greens, which contains approximately 30 servings, typically retails for around $49.95. This makes the cost per serving to be about $1.65."

    To be fair, maybe someone is misunderstanding the purpose of a flag.

    Flagging is a response to trigger a post to be reviewed or deleted.

    It’s not “flagging” it to save for future rereading. The way you do that is by turning this block blue:

    Then any time there’s a post on the thread it will show up here:
    mww3yu99c7dn.jpeg
    647l2wpb342p.jpeg



    Just clarifying in case anyone might have misunderstood “flag”. I could see how it would happen. I spent years dealing with “flagged” files, of the paper variety- which ages me. 🙃

    I would say OP's post got flagged as advertising. I see the text has been removed now, presumably by mods - so looks like the flaggers had a point.

    the other posts were all flagged once - probably all by same person = perhaps, as springlering said, by somebody who misunderstood purpose of flags.

    well, you did start a discussion thread about it - so yes, people give their opinions on the topic - isnt that the point of a thread?

    and as I pointed out before, comments about cost etc aren't directed at you, but at everybody reading.

    Several posters actually said if you are happy with the price and/or the product that's great for you.

    and then went on to give other comments for anyone else reading - as is usual with a topic in a thread.

    Oh, sweetie. Get used to it. When you lose weight, expect everyone you know to either have an opinion, or give “advice” on how you should lose weight - as they enjoy their fried chicken and pie.

    One of the things I’ve done that really wound some folks up is start bringing hot air popped popcorn to Bunco, for an alternative to the treat table. You know how bunco is, right?! That really cheesed some folks off, to the point that one woman seems to have quit, she was so offended.

    You’d have thought I brought a bucket of meth or something to her house. Weirdest reaction ever. Instant hostility. She even took the pot and hid it where everyone laid their coats. I got it right back out and ate it.

    If I want popcorn to avoid brownies, cookies, cakes, I’m gonna have popcorn and you can stuff it.

    Ooof yeah.

    Sad but true.

    I’ve had some really weird reactions from people because I’ve lost weight. Much more the first time, before I was physically disabled.

    Closely held ideas about weight, exercise, diet, and class, can be wild.
    For reasons I won’t get too much into about here, it was the class assumptions of others that were the most surprising to me.
    As long as I was fat and apparently only high school educated? Some “friends” were good. As soon as I lost weight and went back to school? I was (I am assuming based on the way their behavior towards me changed) putting on airs, and no longer the “fat friend” that they could feel superior to.

    Anyways. That’s a bit off topic here.
    Except to say that opinions are like (redacted)
    Everyone has one. And most stink.
    o:)

    OP loves watermelon flavored stuff.
    I really hope that their love for watermelon helps them find the best balance of flavor and diet changes to lead them towards success.
