Vegetables Are Important for Health
How often have you heard you should be eating more vegetables?
Beyond parents, health coaches, and perhaps your nagging significant other, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) also recommends the average American eat more vegetables. Every time the newest edition of Dietary Guidelines for Americans releases, the USDA places vegetable consumption high on their list of health goals for Americans of all ages.
The dietary guidelines recommend that we aim for at least 2 cups, or five servings, of vegetables every day. Unfortunately, nearly 90% of us fall short of meeting these recommendations (1).
A serving of vegetables is defined as 1/2 cup of raw or cooked vegetables like broccoli and green beans or 1 cup of fresh leafy greens like spinach and lettuce (1). Dietary guidelines recommend a minimum of five servings of dark green vegetables for a week. Still, with few exceptions, people across all age groups consume fewer than half of the recommended number of servings (1). Scientific research shows that getting plenty of vegetables, including leafy greens, is linked to lower body weight, better cardiovascular health, and a healthier life overall (1-3).
A Convenient Way to Get a Blend of Whole Vegetables
When you find yourself struggling to eat the recommended five servings of vegetables each day, adding Greens to your routine may help. One scoop of Greens is made with 2 cups of leafy vegetables as a mix of spinach and kale. These nutritious greens are combined with a blend of other non-GMO vegetables and superfood ingredients like spirulina, chlorella, coconut water, broccoli, and turmeric to pack even more power in every scoop. Known for its extraordinary nutrient density, moringa leaf and rounds out the blend of superfood ingredients in Greens.
Greens is made from whole vegetables — not extracts or juice powders — that are gently dried using a temperature-controlled process to protect their natural qualities. The carefully dried vegetables are milled to a fine powder and blended to make an easy-to-enjoy drink mix.
Make Greens part of your family’s day!
Greens is perfect to add to your favorite shake or other Isagenix product as part of the Bedtime Belly Buster or mixed with water to enjoy throughout the day. It can also be added to recipes as an easy way to get more veggies every day. Greens is suitable for anyone ages four and up, making it an excellent choice for the whole family.
Greens can be consumed as often as you like. The average American only eats 1.6 servings of vegetables a day, and green vegetables are the least frequently consumed (1). The two servings of veggies in each scoop of Greens help put you on the right path toward achieving the recommended daily servings.
Greens is not only plant-based but also vegan, keto-friendly, and non-GMO. While not specifically formulated for ketogenic diets, one serving of Greens provides 5 grams of carbohydrates and 0 grams of added sugar, meeting the guidelines of most ketogenic eating plans. The farmers who grow our organic ingredients don’t use GMOs or prohibited pesticides.
Greens can be incorporated into your Cleanse Day routine. Check out the Cleanse Day Tracker for more information.
