What are the benefits of getting more vegetables through a daily drink?

Most people aren’t getting enough vegetables daily. Vegetables have so many benefits like fiber, micronutrients and antioxidants. Adding in a daily veggie drink to make sure that you are getting all of these nutrients even if you aren’t getting as many vegetables in your diet daily is incredibly beneficial and it is such an easy way to add them in!

 



 

How do ingredients like greens, enzymes, and postbiotics support digestion?

These are important nutrients that help support gut health. The fiber found in these nutrients help to feed the beneficial bacteria in your gut as well as keep your digestive system moving. Enzymes are so important for breaking down the food that you eat and helping to optimize absorption. Postbiotics help to support the gut lining and even reduce inflammation in your gut.

 



 

Why does hydration matter when it comes to digestion and feeling good?

Hydration is so important for a number of reasons. Water is important in helping to break down and absorb the nutrients that we eat. It also helps with regular digestion and helps to support our gut lining for optimal nutrient absorption and digestion. Hydration also helps to improve brain function, energy levels, and even improve our mood.

 



 

What is the difference between whole veggies and veggie powders?

Whole veggies are important to get in your diet because of the added fiber and helping to improve digestion. Veggie powders can be a great way to add extra veggies in a way that is convenient and often tastes better for people that don’t love eating vegetables. They are also a great way to pack a variety of nutrients in one simple package. Veggie powders are beneficial because of their shelf stability. They stay good longer than whole veggies.
