You have your greens powder but when is the best time to consume it? Should you be taking it before breakfast in the morning, in the afternoon, or in the evening before bedtime.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

As long as greens supplements are sufficiently dosed, they provide the consumer with all of the essential vitamins and minerals needed daily, and they will boost the immune system, increase energy levels, support the digestive system, and aid with detoxing the body.<\/p>\n

So, there\u2019s pretty much no reason for you not to be taking a greens powder daily, and if you want to check out my greens supplement recommendations<\/a>, it will guide you to the best ones out there.<\/p>\n

If you are new to taking a greens powder, you might not be sure how you should fit it into your daily routine, or even how and when you should take it. <\/p>\n

So, this article is here to answer all your questions surrounding the time you should take a greens powder, how often you should be consuming it, and how to consume it!<\/p>\n

What Time Of Day Should I Consume Greens Powder?<\/h2>\n

Although different brands will recommend different things, you can pretty much take a serving of greens powder whenever works for you. So, don\u2019t panic if you\u2019re finding it difficult to fit in taking your greens powder at the time your greens powder brand recommends you to, you can just pick another time to consume it!<\/p>\n

Saying that most people find it easiest and best to take their greens powder in the morning, either as their breakfast or with their breakfast. <\/p>\n

\"Adam<\/a><\/p>\n

Most people do this simply because it\u2019s the easiest time for them to prepare something whilst they\u2019re at home before heading out to work.<\/p>\n

Taking a green powder in the morning is also widely done because as soon as you finish that green formula in the morning, you know that you\u2019re all set with your nutritional insurance for the day before you\u2019ve even started to eat.<\/p>\n

Some people like to take their greens powder during their morning coffee break instead of a coffee, or during the afternoon slump (between 1-3 pm) to pick their energy levels up. <\/p>\n

You simply have to see what time of the day suits you the best and get into a routine of taking it then. <\/p>\n

However, do try to avoid taking greens powder at night (more on this further down).<\/p>\n

How Should I Consume Greens Powder?<\/h2>\n

On the instructions label of most green powders, it will say that you should mix one recommended serving size into a glass of water and consume. <\/p>\n

Obviously, you can do this, and this is what most people choose to do – it\u2019s easy, quick and you don\u2019t need to prepare anything other than fill up a glass of water and pop the powder in.<\/p>\n

However, it\u2019s no secret that most greens powders don\u2019t taste that appealing, so a lot of people prefer to disguise the taste within a smoothie or juice. Some people like to pop a serving into their yogurt, bake with it, and create energy bars or use it within their cooking to make sauces, such as pesto.<\/p>\n

As long as you\u2019re getting the recommended serving size into your system every day, it\u2019s up to you how you choose to consume it, so get creative and see what works best for you.<\/p>\n

How Often Should I Consume Greens Powder?<\/h2>\n

Greens powders should be used as nutritional insurance, to make sure that you\u2019re getting the essential micronutrients, vitamins, and minerals needed for daily optimum health.<\/p>\n

Therefore, you should be consuming greens powder every single day. If you\u2019re taking it every day, then you know that your nutritional intake is covered before you even start eating!<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you know that you\u2019re immune system is going to be endangered (such as if you\u2019re about to hop on a flight), or your diet has been particularly lacking in nutrients one day, you could actually make more than one serving of greens powder.<\/p>\n

Of course, you shouldn\u2019t overdose on greens powders frequently<\/strong>, but if you know that taking an extra dose might just help you out on a particularly tough day, there\u2019s no harm in doing that.<\/p>\n

On the other end of the spectrum, if you\u2019re someone that only occasionally consumes greens powder, it will still obviously provide you with essential micronutrients on the days that you do, but you just won\u2019t benefit from the other, more specific green powder health benefits<\/a> like you would if you were to consume it consistently.<\/p>\n

When Shouldn\u2019t I Consume Greens Powder?<\/h2>\n

As briefly mentioned earlier, you shouldn\u2019t consume greens powder at night, or before you go to sleep.<\/p>\n

Some green powders contain green tea extract and occasionally ginseng which will increase your energy levels. Even the powders without these two ingredients will be so high in nutrients from the super greens ingredients that they will increase energy levels.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Obviously, the last thing you want to deal with is a rush of energy before you drift off to sleep. So, it\u2019s always best to take a greens powder at least 2-3 hours before you plan on heading to bed. <\/p>\n

Also, you don\u2019t want to miss out on the energy increase during the day while you really need it, so try to consume your green powder at a suitable time for your body\u2019s needs.<\/p>\n

So, now that you have all of the information available to you about when you should and shouldn\u2019t take greens supplements, how you should consume them, and how often you should consume them, it\u2019s time to make a greens powder part of your daily routine!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some Call This An \"Extreme\" Step...<\/strong><\/p>

Most super greens supplements are disappointing.<\/p>

I learned this the hard way. After creating this blog in 2018, I spent months buying and testing all the most popular brands.<\/p>

I wasn\u2019t happy with the results so I did something you might call \"extreme\"....<\/p>

In 2019 I created my own brand that ticks every single box of what I look for in a super greens product:<\/p>
