Greens & Superfoods Powders

Greens powders and superfood powders offer a convenient way to consume a wide variety of greens and ‘superfoods’. These products use dried and powdered ingredients that give you access to the antioxidants, adaptogens, minerals, and vitamins that you would otherwise get from eating the ingredients individually. By combining many plants, vegetables, fruit, and more in a single greens powder or drink, it’s simply a lot easier for you to include more of these ingredients in your diet, compared to buying, preparing, and cooking them yourself.

Green powder supplements can potentially be good for you. One review of multiple studies concluded that concentrated and powdered fruit and vegetables can have a positive effect on certain health parameters. The benefits of powdered greens depend on the specific ingredients included. At Huel, our green powders and Ready-to-drink products contain ingredients which provide vitamin C and selenium (supporting a healthy immune system), iron and B12 (that can support focus), biotin and zinc (for healthy hair and skin), and more.

Greens powders do contain small amounts of fiber, but normally only in small quantities. They can contribute to your overall daily fiber intake, but you should still get most of your fiber from whole fruits and vegetables, grains, and pulses.

Green smoothies and shakes traditionally had a reputation for tasting bitter, with a strong ‘grassy’ or ‘swampy’ taste. However, modern super greens powders are very different. At Huel, our green powders and Ready-to-drinks have a light, fresh, crispy, and fruity flavour. Depending on the individual product you choose, you can expect to taste mint, lime, pineapple, watermelon, apple or blueberry, among other taste profiles. And if you find you just don’t like the taste, we’ll give you your money back.

You can add green powders to smoothies if you would like. We generally recommend just mixing them with water. But some people enjoy blending them with plant-based milks, fruit juices, and fresh fruit or vegetables.
