the "greens" .... a new approach to drinking nutrition

Options
Have you heard about the "greens" from ItWorks! ..... if you haven't, I really think you are missing out. I won't lie .... it's not the most pleasant thing in the world to drink. The taste is not fantastic so I don't tell people it is. It's jam packed with great fruits and veggies for you and none of the bad stuff, so of course it's not going to taste good. BUT the nutrition is incredible!

    Great review, lol. I'll keep to my own. 2 cups of baby spinach. 1 scoop of whey protein, 1 tbsp. of cocoa powder, 1 cup of blueberries, 1 tbsp. china seeds, about 1/2 cup of carrots.....wow was it surprisingly good, and it tasted good. Not bad for a throw together smoothie-thing lol.

    I have not heard about it.

    however, I will pass on doing so - meh, I am missing out on... well, on something ... perhaps on losing money from my wallet?

    Itworks! That is It works eating real fruit & veg that taste great and are much cheaper than some mass produced, over-priced horrible tasting some concoction you're trying to flog.

    There are no quick fixes, eat at a sensible deficit, work out if you want to retain some muscle and not be panting going up a flight of stairs but realise its a lifestyle change and losing the weight will take time. However, probably less time than it took to put on (assuming no underlying medical issues etc).

    ETA: Better off spending the money for this or any other such product on fresh produce from the market. You'll get more for your money and you can prepare it in a way that tastes good.

    I'll just stick to my low calorie V8-esque recipe to juice. Love me some kale and celery with a bit of tomato. Oh god yes.

    Greens is a "new" thing?? Is this the twilight zone?
    No idea what brand she's talking about? But the purpose of a greens supplement is most contain micronutrients from at least 43 land AND sea vegetables to give trace minerals that are food sourced. These would be extremely difficult to achieve through a regular diet. It's also a way to achieve proper PH which lowers inflammation of the body. It naturally boosts energy as well as immunity.

    Nope. Ripping people off with magic juice is NOT a new thing :bigsmile:

    No thanks. I'll just eat food. Btw, I think its against the rules to try to sell people stuff on here. But I seriously doubt anyone would buy this anyway.
