Do you remember the first time you were told to eat your vegetables? If you’re like most of us, it was probably before you could even write your name.

We go through life knowing how important it is for our bodies to get our daily veg. This powerful food group can reduce the risk of heart disease, help us live longer, encourage weight loss, lower the risk of type 2 diabetes, and help curb the risk of cancer, among so many other health benefits (1, 2, 3, 4, 5).

In fact, it would be hard to dream up something vegetables can’t do—but keeping your fridge stocked with all the leafy green servings you need is a lot to stay on top of.

What if, instead, you could get a powerful boost of greens—along with heaps of other superfoods that your body needs—in just one glass? Our new Native Greens Superfood Powder can help you do just that.

Native Greens combines some of the most nutrient-dense fruits, veggies, and superfoods on the planet into one simple powder blend. Read on to get to know the powder’s energizing, health-boosting ingredient lineup—and why each one should be part of your daily routine.

This legume has been used as a medicinal herb for hundreds of years.

4. Organic Barley Grass Powder

This vibrant grain is one of the most important seed crops in the world, and its leaves (called barley grass) are known for their powerful health benefits (9).

18. Organic Turmeric Powder

Every single one of these ingredients has a nutritional superpower. Altogether, they’re practically unstoppable—which is exactly why we combined them into one easy-to-use powder.

Green superfood drinks are one of the easiest ways to make sure you’re getting the nutritional boost you need each day. You can mix a scoop into your water or smoothie for a daily dose of energy, healthy aging, hormonal balance, and more.

Green drinks like Native Greens Superfood Powder are created by concentrating multiple ingredients into one powder supplement. For many green powders, ingredients are either dried and then ground into powder; or the ingredient is juiced and dehydrated, and then the nutrients are extracted for the powder.

As the superfoods above indicate, green drinks are usually loaded with vitamins A and C, which can help boost immunity (45). If your health goals include antioxidants and anti-inflammation—which help ward off illnesses like cancer and help protect your body from free radicals—green drinks are a great cornerstone habit (46).

One four-week study found that people who took 10 grams of green powder each day experienced lower levels of oxidatively damaged proteins in their blood (46). This means that their blood proteins were better able to help ward off cancer and chronic illness (47)!

Another study found that 10 grams daily of green powder decreased blood pressure by around 8% over the course of 90 days (48). Green superfood drinks may also help detoxify the body by combatting the free radicals that are naturally created by your liver (49).

The US and Canada recommend you consume ½ cup of raw vegetables each day, and to bump that recommendation up to one full cup if you’re eating leafy vegetables (50). The American Heart Association suggests 4 to 5 servings of fruit per day (51).

That’s a lot of fresh food to stock up on, prepare, and potentially even add to recipes every single day.

So what if you just sipped on a green superfood drink daily instead? Fresh fruits and vegetables are fantastic, but if you’re looking for a fast and easy way to take care of your body, all you need is one scoop of powder per day.

Green superfood drinks can help you get the benefits of fresh fruits, veggies, and ancient superfoods without the hassle. Humans have been relying on these ingredients for thousands of years to live full and healthy lives—and now you can reap centuries of benefits in just a few sips.

NativePath Native Greens Superfood Powder is a 3-in-1 plant-based powder that combines the world’s healthiest nutrients, superfoods, and superfruits into one simple blend. Take a few sips each morning for memory support, better gut health, happier hormones, healthier aging, and a powerful boost of energy.
