Get pHresh with me!

Ok, not really – I’m not that kind of girl!! I’m referring to pHresh greens. Mine arrived in the mail merely hours after I posted about alkalizing your body.  I’ve had a chance to try it in a couple smoothies and even mixed into my overnight oats. Here is a little review for you!

So what is pHresh greens you ask?! Well, it is a super food (definition of super food: it’s among the world’s most nutrient-rich, dense and beneficial  foods on earth), a green powder that you simply add to your favourite smoothie, glass of water or juice.

Taste I added it to my regular breakfast smoothie and mixed into my overnight oats and did not notice a taste at all.  However, in the container, the powder has a distinct “grassy” smell to it. I tried it on its own and found it to be quite strong! I will not be adding this to just a plain glass of water, unless I plugged my nose and slammed it back. In a smoothie, it is nearly undetectable. Strong flavours like banana and pineapple help hide the taste so you don’t feel like you’re chomping on your lawn.

Overall, I think this is a great way to incorporate more raw, green foods into your diet. It’s healthy, full of nutrients, and all natural. I’ve only been using it for a few days but I have noticed an increase in energy; no more mid-afternoon slump around 3pm. My workouts feel more intense too, I definitely have more energy at the gym.  I’m sure it’s doing a great job of alkalizing my bod as we speak! So go on and get yourself some raw greens; your body will thank you
