New way to get those greens, from a trusted company!
Getting proper nutrition is sometimes difficult, especially as one ages. We’ve been using Naturelo’s “Over 50” multivitamins, which also contain essential trace minerals and certain herbs and come in both a women’s version and a man’s version to address certain common issues. The man of the house (aka my husband) generally avoids eating greens, other than broccoli, so I’ve been adding spinach to his omelet and that sort of thing. He likes yogurt and he loves blueberries, but he hates “smoothies”, so I realized that these powdered greens with blueberries might be just the thing to add to yogurt. As an experiment, we bought a 5.3 oz. container of plain unsweetened yogurt, and stirred in one rounded scoop of the powder, then tasted it. Not bad at all, I thought, as the powder comes sweetened with monk fruit, but he has a bit of a sweet tooth, so I then added half a teaspoon of plain (“simple syrup”) stevia. Stirred that in, and then had him taste it. Success! We may try adding dried blueberries soaked overnight in apple cider to make the serving more satisfying and skip the stevia syrup next time. We’ll naturally try a few more experiments of this nature, such as adding organic unsweetened cocoa powder, for example. I’ve been eating low fat plain Greek yogurt (with active cultures) for years to which I’ve added soaked tart cherries, vanilla stevia liquid, and sliced bananas, and sometimes add the cocoa powder I mentioned above for added fiber and flavor. That recipe I always make in a 32 oz. batch, which saves a lot of time, so once perfected, this new recipe can easily be scaled up as well. For those who are interested in specifics, we use NuNatural’s plain, liquid vanilla, or chocolate stevia, Anthony’s cocoa powder, and dried fruit from FruitFast (Brownwood Acres). Yes, all of these can be purchased through Amazon. Smaller batches of FruitFast’s dried fruit (such as dark chocolate covered tart cherries for Christmas) we buy through Amazon, but because we buy a lot of dried fruit, we buy 4 lb. to 5 lb. bags directly from FruitFast to get “points” towards future purchases. Either way, all these products have proven very tasty and reliably good. Consistent sweetness and flavor in the stevia, consistent taste and texture in the cocoa, no pits in the flavorful tart cherries, and having an actual choice (depending on intended use) between dried regular blueberries and dried wild blueberries which are smaller and sweeter, for instance, means a lot to us.

After trying half a dozen greens powders this one is by far the best. Virtually no taste and mixes well. Loaded full of so many good for you ingredients! Don’t be put off by the smell when you first go to try it as it smells 10x worse than it tastes.
