A Supplement I Recommend To Keep You (And Your Entire Family) Healthy

Current nutrition research tells us that the majority of people living in the U.S. follow the standard American diet. One that is rich in refined grains, added sugars, salts, and saturated or synthetic fats. Many people are not meeting the daily recommended intake for vegetables, fruits, and whole grains, and this increases the risk of developing noncommunicable diseases. In fact, the 2015–2020 Dietary Guidelines note that three-quarters of the population follows a pattern of eating that is low in vegetables and fruits.  That’s why I contributed this piece to mindbodygreen about an easy way to add more vegetables to your family’s diet:

To make sure my family is getting enough fruits and vegetables, mbg’s organic veggies+ is a favorite in our home.* It’s a fantastic organic whole food blend of vegetables and fruits that even contains sea veggies. The greens powder is also vegetarian, so it meets the needs of everyone in the family, including my vegetarian son.

I often add the blend to homemade pancakes, breads, and smoothies. It gives whatever dish I’m making a phytonutrient boost in a tiny package.* organic veggies+ is very easy to use, and you can add it to most any dish you prepare. As a veggie-loving mom, I find myself reaching for this blend most days.
