And what is in it?<\/p>\n<p>True to their brand, when we first look at the packet and product information, we see the caloric value is written large (20 calories per portion), so this immediately appeals to anyone on a <a href=\"\/does-calorie-counting-work-for-weight-loss\/\">calorie-reduced regime<\/a>.  <\/p>\n<p>The whole idea of the <strong>branding and the packaging seems to be around appealing to women<\/strong> (the color scheme is a very bright fuchsia pink) and the pictograms on the website show waist-slimming, calming, skin-brightening benefits (among others).  <\/p>\n<div class=\"pb small\">\n<p class=\"compared\">Other green powders that are marketed for weight loss:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"compared\">\n<li><a href=\"\/athletic-greens-review\/\">AG1 review<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/detox-organics-chocolate-superfood-reviews\/\">Detox Organics review<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/organifi-green-juice-review\/\">Organifi Green Juice reviews<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Background on Skinny Fit Inc<\/h3>\n<p>Skinny Fit\u2019s tagline is \u2018Where Healthy is Gorgeous,\u2019 They are a health and wellness brand whose mission is to help women reach their goals through nurturing their bodies.  I had a long search around their website and sadly found no further information &#8211; even under their Company section under the FAQs of their site &#8211; about their corporate story.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, the products they became best-known for (detox teas) have come under fire recently. This may be why they minimize exposure to their story or company formation history. <\/p>\n<p>Among detox tea and super greens powders, products in the range now include Collagen Peptides,  <a href=\"\/organifi-red-juice-review\/\">red juice superfoods powder<\/a>, workout supplements, post-workout powder, cravings-suppressants, probiotic digestive support products, and hair, skin, and nails supplements.  <\/p>\n<p>The range is inclusive and reaches out to female consumers on a whole-wellness level. It also suggests that the target consumer is body-and-health-conscious and interested in optimal nutrition for overall wellness.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lifehackerguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/skinny-fit-supplements.jpg\" alt=\"Skinny Fit supplement range\" width=\"800\" height=\"335\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7609\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lifehackerguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/skinny-fit-supplements.jpg 800w, https:\/\/lifehackerguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/skinny-fit-supplements-20x8.jpg 20w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Skinny Greens Superfood Ingredients<\/h3>\n<p>The original blend of Skinny Greens Green Juice Superfood Powder (Green Apple flavor) contains \u201834 essential superfoods, stress-relieving adaptogens, &#038; pre and probiotics for all of your daily nutrients body needs and craves.<\/p>\n<p>The ingredients are broken down into specific blends (with the overall weight of one serve being one 8.2g scoop):<\/p>\n<div class=\"gb\">\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Wholesome Superfood Blend (3405mg):<\/strong> Lemon juice powder, Organic Chlorella Powder, Organic Spirulina Powder, Spinach leaf, Organic Wheatgrass Powder, Organic Matcha (leaves), Alfalfa powder (aerial parts), Organic Moringa Leaf Powder, Artichoke extract (leaves)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Gut Renewing Probiotic Blend (2530mg):<\/strong> Acacia fiber, Bromelain, Amylase, Lactase, Cellulase, Protease, Lipase, Probiotic blend (500 million CFU) Bifidobacterium lactis, B. breve, B. longum, Lactobacillus acidophilus, L. casei, L. plantarum, L. paracasei, L. salivarius, L. rhamnosus, L. bulgaricus<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mood-boosting Adaptogen Blend (670mg):<\/strong> Coconut water powder, Turmeric root powder, Ashwagandha root, Ginseng root, Rhodiola mushroom powder <\/li>\n<li><strong>Waist-Slimming Blend (320mg):<\/strong> Glucomannan root, Green tea leaf extract, Apple cider vinegar<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h3>How Does Skinny Greens Taste?<\/h3>\n<p>Skinny Greens comes in a Green Apple flavor, which some consumers like and others find disgusting. As is the <a href=\"\/best-tasting-greens-powders\/\">challenge with any powder supplement<\/a>, the taste is a big component, so if you can't stand the taste, then you have two options. <\/p>\n<p>Either try to find a drink you can take in, or you most likely need to find an alternative product or flavor.<\/p>\n<h3>Side Effects<\/h3>\n<p>The FAQs page on the website claims that you shouldn\u2019t experience any side effects, and this will of course, depend on how used to taking super greens your body and digestion are. <\/p>\n<p>Most people will experience a <a href=\"\/can-greens-supplements-cause-bloating\/\">minor change to their digestive habits<\/a>, regardless of the precise ingredients, on the first time taking super greens powders as a drink. This is because the digestive system needs to deal with an increase in plant fibers, fruit and vegetable acids, and potentially probiotics too.  This normally balances out after a number of days of taking the product as directed.<\/p>\n<h3>Does Skinny Greens Actually Work?<\/h3>\n<p>Firstly, it\u2019s important to note that an average \u2018scoop\u2019 size of super greens powders varies between 8-14g.  This means in a serving of Skinny Greens, you could be getting up to 5g less of everything put together than a competitor product with a larger scoop size. <\/p>\n<p><strong>This is why I went with a 12-gram serving size in my greens powder. You often need at least 1 gram or more of an ingredient to have many benefits.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This small serving notwithstanding, let\u2019s look at the actual ingredients. While seemingly cramming a lot into a serving, there are not as many ingredients (nor in as high quantities) as competitor brands. <\/p>\n<div class=\"bb\">\nThe claims and benefits of this product are laid out on the product page and packaging, and they are: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Slim down<\/strong> &#8211; reduce bloating, reduce fat mass, curb cravings<\/li>\n<li><strong>Enhance energy<\/strong> &#8211; amplify energy levels, supercharge vitality<\/li>\n<li><strong>Increased mental clarity, decreased stress<\/strong> &#8211; clear brain fog, reduce stress<\/li>\n<li><strong>Clear, revitalized skin<\/strong> &#8211; clear, glowing complexion, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>It\u2019s clear that for Skinny Fit, the main aim of Skinny Greens is to deliver weight loss, whilst also enabling consumers to enhance their nutritional intake every day. This, for me, is distinctly different from taking a superfoods blend purely for the nutritional benefits.<\/p>\n<p>The main ingredients of Skinny Greens, in my opinion, that may have the above effects are Spirulina, Chlorella, Matcha, Spinach, Turmeric, and Ashwagandha. <\/p>\n<div class=\"standout-box\">&#8230;<strong>this proprietary formula is frustrating<\/strong>. I\u2019m already discovering that there is not enough<\/div>\n<p>(Glucomannan is a type of dietary fiber incorporated into weight-loss products, but my research revealed that it is yet to be proven medically effective).<\/p>\n<p>Because Skinny Greens only gives us the total weight of each proprietary blend rather than each ingredient, it is difficult for me to verify what the received benefit for someone taking Skinny Greens would be.  <strong>Spirulina is recommended in a dose between 1-8g daily<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/examine.com\/supplements\/spirulina\/\">source<\/a>), for antioxidant and \/ or metabolic benefits. <\/p>\n<p>Chlorella, similarly, is <strong>recommended at around 2g daily<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/vitamins\/ai\/ingredientmono-907\/chlorella\">source<\/a>). <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lifehackerguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/ashwagandha-root2.jpg\" alt=\"Ashwagandha root supplements\" width=\"350\" height=\"348\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-6106\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lifehackerguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/ashwagandha-root2.jpg 350w, https:\/\/lifehackerguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/ashwagandha-root2-20x20.jpg 20w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/>Ashwagandha, which is known for its anxiolytic properties, has been <strong>recommended at around 500-600mg daily<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/nutrition\/ashwagandha-dosage\">source<\/a>). <\/p>\n<p><em>Ashwagandha root is a very promising ingredient and I suggest taking a look at supplements that provide the minimum dosages per serving in my <a href=\"\/best-ashwagandha-supplements\/\">round-up here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The overall weight of the superfood blend is 3.4g. The total weight of the mood-boosting adaptogen blend is only 0.67g.  <\/p>\n<p>For me, this proprietary formula is frustrating. I\u2019m already discovering that there is <strong>not really enough of the more powerful plant ingredients<\/strong> for me in this blend.<\/p>\n<h3>Skinny Greens Customer Reviews<\/h3>\n<p>I have got three balanced reviews from actual customers for Skinny Greens from both the official website and Amazon.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"pull-quote\"><p>This stuff is incredible and tastes great too! It\u2019s so easy to use, I put it in my water bottle and I\u2019m out the door! I\u2019ve lost quite a bit of weight, bloating is gone and I feel more focused during the day.<cite>From the website, Danielle G, 51, says<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"pull-quote\"><p>I bought this product because some of the reviews said it tasted delicious. It\u2019s disgusting to me. Most times I gag while drinking it, but I will finish it because it was so expensive for the little bottle. I\u2019m not consistent with using this because of the taste. I\u2019m looking for a comparable product to replace this. If I can\u2019t find a comparable one, I still won\u2019t buy this again.<cite>From Amazon.com, Dawn<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"pull-quote\"><p>It tastes ok. Leaves an after taste. I\u2019ve had worse tasting things to drink. I have had 1 drink so far. I will update after a few drinks and see if it helps with anything.<cite>Lizzie L<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Money Back Guarantee \/ Returns Policy<\/h3>\n<p>If you buy directly from the Skinny Fit website there is a 90-day money-back guarantee.<\/p>\n<h3>Where to Buy Skinny Greens?<\/h3>\n<p>Unfortunately, Skinny Fit Skinny Greens is currently out of stock on their website. You can still <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3aHN8rd\">buy from Amazon sellers<\/a>, but there are mixed reviews about the state of the product so beware.<\/p>\n<h3>Is It Worth the Price?<\/h3>\n<p>Skinny Greens is currently out of stock so it is difficult for me to assess the cost compared to other products on the market. Amazon sellers seem to have the price market at around $70 per tub, which makes it a very expensive product for a 30-day supply. <\/p>\n<p>I think it will appeal to consumers who expect to see sudden results in weight loss, and if you are looking to drink Skinny Greens simply as a Greens blend, it doesn\u2019t match up to other big-hitters, in my opinion.<\/p>\n<div class=\"standout-box\">if you are looking to drink Skinny Greens simply as a Greens blend it <strong>doesn\u2019t really match up to other big-hitters<\/strong><\/div>\n<p>It all comes down to the blend.  I feel that if you want to have a real nutritional heavy-hitter, this isn\u2019t quite cutting it. But if you are aiming for weight loss and want to take Skinny Greens to aid your nutritional intake while dieting, you will be looking for different results.<\/p>\n<h3>Skinny Greens: My Verdict<\/h3>\n<p>I would probably prefer to take two distinctly different products for different needs. I think there are better Super Greens products that provide a much better spectrum of ingredients in one dose, with higher dosages of powerful ingredients in the blend.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I also feel a little conflicted about the weight-loss aspect.<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>Suppose I\u2019m going on a weight-loss spree. In that case, I prefer to follow a diet-based regimen that incorporates some exercise rather than adding specific weight-loss \u2018aids,\u2019 which unfortunately means I would be unlikely to buy a product like Skinny Fit Skinny Greens.  <\/p>\n<p>If you feel it hits all your needs, you may find that it is better for you just to take one particular product, and you might not be as concerned as I am about the amounts in the blend.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The branding is great, it appeals to its fans and those who already buy the Skinny Fit teas, but for me this is one Greens blend I won\u2019t be sticking with.<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-greens-box\"><h6>LifeHacker Guy Greens Recommendation<\/h6><div class=\"internal-wrapper\"><a href=\"\/supergreen-tonik-review\/\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/cdn.lifehackerguy.com\/wp-content\/themes\/lhg-theme2\/images\/adam-sgt-new-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"SuperGreen TONIK tub\"\/><\/a><p><strong>Some Call This An \"Extreme\" Step...<\/strong><\/p><p>Most super greens supplements are disappointing.<\/p><p>I learned this the hard way.
