- Huel Daily Greens is available for £50: Huel’s greens powders are packaged generously in a bag accompanied by a scoop, while first-time buyers from the Huel website can receive a complimentary shaker bottle. The standard flavor yielded an absolutely appalling concoction. Rather than easily succumbing to nausea, a trial resulted in a sensation akin to wanting to regurgitate as I strolled aimlessly around my kitchen. Reminiscent oddly of bananas
- specifically the white filaments within, mingled with a hint of dog food aroma
- the bland is simultaneously bitter, savory, and slightly sweet. The tasting notes were captured hastily after a few sips before ultimately discarding the remainder. Surprisingly, the Watermelon variant was even more distasteful, resembling a concoction of whole milk combined with watermelon fizz and a subtlety of white button mushrooms. Conscience-driven, I refrain from endorsing this powder, shedding light on an alternative notwithstanding any dislike of Brussels sprouts
- they remain a preferable option over this unfortunate supplement. Adverse reactions included unwelcome gas
- a matter I reluctantly divulge here online in the hope of steering toward a different choice.
Indulge in WelleCo Super Elixir for £85: Pledged to be “bitter greens taste-free,” this powder, infused with Lemon and Ginger flavors, failed to mask the bitter greens aftertaste. While not offensive, the combination of flavor and texture left me unsettled. Slow to dissolve and leaving a gritty residue that lingered, the powder left me with a strong urge to clean my teeth as its granules stuck stubbornly. Despite its enriched nutritional profile with biotin, zinc, and copper, I believe this greens powder might pose a challenge for daily consumption for most, unless one can bear to swallow it down without much ado.
Discover Amazing Grass Sweet Greens priced at £30: Delving into powdered greens for over a year has shown me that, much like broccoli or Vegemite, most brands have an acquired taste. However, none have challenged my taste buds quite like Sweet Greens from Amazing Grass, their innovative take on making greens more palatable. Promising fruit-infused flavors such as Peach Hibiscus, Summer Berry, and Tropical Lime, the marketing pitch hints that you’ll “fall in love with greens all over again.” Opting for Tropical Lime, I experienced a peculiar blend reminiscent of adding plain stevia to a mixture resembling moldy cardboard soaked in pond water. For those seeking a more pleasant experience, I would recommend sticking with Bloom. —Kat Merck
