Greens powders are all the rage right now and being touted as a cure for bloating, etc. It seems like Influencer marketing is a reason for the hype around these products – but they’re so $$! Are they worth it?

Greens aren’t harmful but I do believe they are over-hyped. They are basically a multivitamin in my eyes. I do not believe that they should be a replacement for whole or minimally processed fruits and veg – which I’m afraid that sometimes they are! 

Instead of paying $50-100 + for an unregulated greens powder, try making your own at home for a fraction of the price. The other advantage is that you know exactly what’s in it – which may not be the case for these other greens powders.
