Recipe uses
Greens powder can be mixed into smoothies, yoghurt bowls, no-bake slices or frozen desserts. Start with a small amount, then adjust for colour and flavour.
Powders are not a replacement for a varied diet. Keep whole foods such as vegetables, fruit, grains and protein foods in your usual meals.
