Want to know more about what goes into our Daily Greens powder? You've come to the right place.
Plant-Based Protein and Raw Superfood Blend
Tapioca Flour – a starch extracted from cassava, a root vegetable, similar to sweet potato. Along with providing carbohydrates, the tapioca in Huel Daily Greens helps with mixability and provides a smoother texture.
Gluten-Free Oat flour – contains a special class of fiber called beta-glucans, which have been shown to have a favorable effect on cholesterol and blood glucose levels[1,2]. The oats used in Huel Daily Greens are certified gluten-free.
Pea Fiber – helps to improve blood glucose control, particularly when combined with pea protein[3,4].
Organic Pea Protein – complements the other plant-based proteins to create a complete amino acid profile. It's high in important branched-chain amino acids such as leucine, which plays a key role in muscle protein synthesis[5], and has a lower allergenic risk versus other protein sources such as soy and whey.
Organic Mung Bean Protein – high in phenolic acid and flavonoids[6]. The processing of this ingredient reduces its antinutritional properties, such as phytic acid, thereby allowing improved absorption of key minerals, such as iron and zinc[7].
Organic Flaxseed – contains high levels of essential omega-3 fatty acids and fiber, which have been demonstrated to have a positive effect on heart health and other parts of the body such as the gut[8].
Organic Chia Seeds – have a similar composition to flaxseed and so provides similar benefits[9].
Organic Sprouted Quinoa – grown in a nutrient-rich medium meaning it's even higher than quinoa seeds in several b-vitamins, particularly vitamin B12 which is extremely rare in plant-based foods[10].
Organic Antioxidant Greens Blend
Organic Chlorella – chlorella is the collective name for several species of green algae. These algae are a source of key micronutrients including B-vitamins, vitamin E, choline, phosphorus, and iron, as well as essential fatty acids, amino acids, and fiber[11,12].
Organic Calciferous Marine Algae – a type of algae – specifically Lithothamnium species – that’s rich in several key minerals, in particular forms of calcium and magnesium which are well absorbed by the body[13,14].
Organic Spirulina – isn’t technically algae, but microorganisms known as cyanobacteria. Spirulina has both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties[15], as well as high concentrations of key micronutrients such as vitamin C, potassium, phosphorus, and iron, alongside protein[16].
Organic Broccoli – a cruciferous vegetable high in fiber. It’s also high in glucosinolates, a group of phytonutrients with a range of properties from antioxidant to anti-inflammatory properties[17].
Organic Broccoli Sprouts – the nutrient profile of broccoli sprouts is more concentrated when compared to older broccoli, which is why we’ve included both in Huel Daily Greens[18].
Organic Spinach – a dark leafy green high in several vitamins such as vitamins A, E, K, as well as iron and phytonutrients[19].
Organic Kale – a dark leafy green, contains a variety of beneficial nutrients such as vitamin K, iron, and vitamin C[20].
Organic Nettle – has been traditionally used in tea and contain polyphenols such as carotenoids that may have anti-inflammatory effects[21,22].
Organic Artichoke Leaf Powder – studies have suggested that artichoke leaf may lower LDL (bad) cholesterol and triglycerides thereby helping to improve blood lipid profiles[23].
Organic Carrot – an abundant source of phytonutrients, specifically carotenoids like beta-carotene (an active form of vitamin A) which play a key role in eye health[24,25].
Organic Bilberry – one of the richest natural sources of anthocyanins, apart from having several health benefits, they also give bilberries their blue/black color[26,27].
Organic Sweet Fennel – has been used as a spice in cooking for centuries. Newer research is investigating the phytonutrients in fennel and the effects they might have[28,29].
Organic Basil – a source of calcium, iron, manganese, vitamin A, and vitamin K, a as well as several secondary plant metabolites[30,31].
Organic Black Garlic – made from raw garlic that has been exposed to low heat and humidity to alter its taste, color, and structure. It has been shown that its antioxidant components, including the polyphenol and flavonoids contents of black garlic, increase significantly with aging of the garlic[32,33].
Organic Green Tea Extract – widely known for its anti-inflammatory properties, mainly via catechin compounds. Green tea catechins may also support weight loss, but the effects appear to be minor at best[34,35].
Organic Green Coffee Beans – unroasted coffee beans which, because they haven't been roasted, contain high levels of polyphenols, which have been shown to have several positive effects on cardiovascular health[36,37].
Organic Mate Leaf Powder – popular for its use in tea throughout the Middle East and South America, mate leaf – also known as yerba mate – contains xanthines and saponins, that could reduce oxidative stress[38,39].
Organic Superfruit Blend
Organic Tomato – rich in vitamin A and phytonutrients, one of particular interest is lycopene, which is the pigment that gives tomatoes their red color and has been linked to improving cardiovascular health[40,41].
Organic Acerola Cherry – grown in Central and South America and rivalled by few other fruits in respect to their high vitamin C content[42].
Organic Tart Cherry – distinct from its sweet cousin with a brighter red color. They contain a number of phytonutrients which may reduce inflammation and improve sleep quality[43,44].
Organic Blueberry – one of the first popularized ‘superfoods’, blueberries have a high number of polyphenolic compounds and anthocyanins, and there’s growing research on the positive effects of including blueberries for good brain health[45,46].
Organic Strawberry – a good source of vitamins, especially vitamin C, and also contain a number of phytochemicals such as ellagic acid, which may bind to certain cancer-causing chemicals preventing them from doing damage[47,48].
Organic Cranberry – used widely in North America, cranberries are rich in bioactive compounds which have several links to cardiovascular health[49,50].
Organic Elderberry – has been traditionally used in parts of Europe and North Africa to treat various ailments; scientific studies provide some evidence for this use, possibly via increasing inflammatory cytokines[51,52].
Organic Red Grape Vine Leaf – the grapes of this plant are normally discussed, but the leaves also contain a number of polyphenols such as quercetin[53,54].
Organic Lemon Peel – rich in flavonoids, a group of beneficial plant nutrients, which research has shown can reduce the levels of circulating inflammatory molecules[55,56].
Organic Plantain Leaf – traditionally used as a remedy for an array of illnesses for centuries. Research has found it contains a family of chemicals called iridoid glycosides, which could have anti-inflammatory properties[57].
Organic Hawthorn Flower – contains antioxidants which could be why in the Middle Ages it was taken for a healthy heart (it was also supposed to mend a ‘broken heart’, though we’re a little sceptical of this claim!).
Organic Coconut Sugar – provides a natural sweetness to Huel Daily Greens.
Super Mushroom Adaptogen Complex
The term ‘adaptogen’ was coined in the late 1950s by Soviet scientists to describe any substance that exerts effects on both sick and healthy individuals by 'correcting' any dysfunction without producing unwanted side effects[58].
Ashwagandha – has been shown to reduce cortisol (a stress hormone), which may help to lower stress levels over time[59,60].
Rhodiola Root Extract – has been shown to reduce fatigue, particularly stress-induced fatigue, such as from revising for an exam[61,62].
Shiitake Mushroom –suggested that they improved the body’s immune response, while also creating a less inflammatory environment[63].
Cordyceps Mushroom – appear to improve a person's VO2 max, which means they can utilize more oxygen during intense exercise and thereby improve their performance[64,65].
Reishi Mushroom – like other mushrooms, reishi mushroom contains a variety of compounds such as triterpenes which need continued research to fully determine their health effects[66].
Maitake Mushroom – contain a variety of compounds such as beta-glucans and glycoproteins, which like the compounds in reshi mushroom need more research to understand their effects[67].
Ginseng is the root of plants that belong to the genus Panax. The Huel Daily Greens Super Mushroom Adaptogen Complex contains three varieties:
-
White Ginseng – is the dried root and has been shown to reduce reactive oxygen species, which can cause negative health effects, and it may do this by increasing the level of glutathione in cells[68].
-
Red Ginseng – is the root that’s been steamed and then dried. In certain groups, such as those with chronic illness and postmenopausal women, red ginseng may reduce symptoms of fatigue[69].
-
Siberian Ginseng – (aka Eleutherococcus senticosus) is not actually a ginseng because it doesn’t contain any ginsenosides, however it may improve cardiovascular function leading to improved athletic performance[70].
Organic Lemon Balm Leaf – has been traditionally used to induce calmness. It contains a compound called rosmarinic acid which has been linked to an increase in GABA, a neurotransmitter associated with feeling relaxed[71,72].
Organic Maca Root – may improve the symptoms of menopause, especially those related to mood, although more research is needed before firm conclusions can be drawn regarding its effectiveness[73,74].
Organic Marshmallow Plant – interestingly, the different coloured flowers of this plant can be used as indicator of the flavonoid content and antioxidant activity: reddish pink is the preferred choice over white[75].
Botanical Blend
Organic Cinnamon – a popular spice, cinnamon may play a role in helping to control blood glucose levels[76] and may also have antimicrobial attributes[77].
Organic Ginger – a well-known herbaceous plant, ginger has been widely used as a flavoring agent and herbal medicine for centuries. It has been shown to be to have an anti-inflammatory effect in the general population and those with arthritis[78,79].

Organic Burdock Root – a vegetable native to Northern Asia and Europe, it contains multiple types of phytonutrients, including luteolin and phenolic acids[82,83].
Organic Echinacea – a herb that contains bioactive compounds called alkylamides. Research suggests that the alkylamides could modulate the immune response and decrease the odds of developing a common cold as well as the duration of experiencing cold symptoms[84,85].
Organic Hibiscus Flower – otherwise known as ‘Roselle’, hibiscus flower contains phenolic compounds – secondary plant metabolites - which act as antioxidants[86].
Organic Lemongrass Leaf – has been used in traditional medicine around the world, it contains several groups bioactive compounds such as flavonoids, alkaloids and tannins which together potentially exert anti-inflammatory effects[87].
Probiotics in Huel Daily Greens
Bacillus Coagulans MTCC 5856 – Bacillus coagulans is a robust and stable probiotic which makes it a great addition to Huel Daily Greens[88,89].
Bifidobacterium Bifidum 100B – Bifidobacterium bifidum could help improve the immune system's resilience to stress[90]. Stress can weaken the immune system making us more susceptible to bacteria and viruses[91].
