throw away your greens powders and make greens cubes for your smoothies instead

kale + spinach + swiss chard
add a touch of water if the mix gets too thick (or add cucumbers)

> cheaper
> more nutrients (fresh >>>)
> no additives or sweeteners (better taste)
> can make your own mix
> FIBRE

i spent ~$7 and made 34 cubes (17 servings, about ~30g of greens total)

you can really enhance the nutrient profile and benefits by adding any of the following: moringa powder, spirulina, fresh turmeric, fresh ginger, ground flax seeds, chia seeds, ashwagandha powder

30g per serving** which is equivalent to one of your daily servings of greens :)

lmaooo 

i make a smoothie every day for breakfast so i try to be efficient AND healthy

washing + prepping + blending the 3 leafy greens i always put in my smoothies then freezing into cubes means i don't have to take those 3 ingredients out and wash + prep them for every daily smoothie. plus it helps me reduce food waste since they don't go bad :) 

whole foods with fibre > processed powders

my normal smoothie recipe:
vanilla whey protein powder (also contains sweet potato and oat flour), moringa powder, 1 serving of greens, frozen berry mix, chia seeds, oat milk

i end up getting 11 different fruits, vegetables, and seeds from this smoothie. you should aim to have 30-40 different ones in your diet each week for optimal gut microbiome health!

going from greens powders -> “green cubes for your smoothies” feels like it’s…missing the obv logical option? fresh green smoothies?

sorry i am not trolling i just have never been so confused this feels like an idea i’d think of while v stoned

like wat kind of smoothie are u making to put these cubes in???

Rated 💯 by multiple networks. Unbothered by what day of the week it is.

Allegedly a designer.

getting back into smoothie mode as cold weather season starts? 😂 

glad you'll get use out of it!

Awesome. Getting the family back into smoothie mode so this share is timely and much appreciated.

these by themselves would taste pretty weird + there’s minimal protein (only 2.5g per 100g of greens)

I do blend them in my morning protein shake tho!

can you use them as protein shake? mix one cube with like water as post workout protein load up?

thank you for this sailor. my shake habit has been in dire need of an upgrade

I cube so many things. Raw snacks for cats, socks

oh that’s a good idea! I’ve done cubes of demi-glace before too

i like doing this for soup starters in the winter!

if we're thinking of the same research, it's that liquid food doesn't trigger the same satiety or prepare-to-digest signals as solid food (proprioceptive feedback from chewing is important for saliva production and a bunch of other digestive things)

but...liquid foods are easier to digest since they're broken down partially from blending. and if you make just one serving of your smoothie, you can't over indulge. so the effect of having one meal blended or whole is probably negligible

juice is a completely different thing because you're actually removing all the fibre and other parts of that produce which decreases the bioavailability of a bunch of nutrients. juice is pretty much vitamin water tbh. smoothies don't remove anything!

Pretty good what do U think of recent research that liquid food like this isn't as good as solid food that chews they already know juices are lot worse but maybe greens like this are not so bad 30 $DEGEN
