Why Greenergy Green Drink Powder is the Perfect Complement to “Natural Whey” Protein Powder
Nourishing our bodies with just the right nutrients is one of the keys to achieving whole-body health so that we can live comfortably and full of energy. This means getting the right balance of foods at every meal: lean protein, healthy fats and unprocessed carbs. With our families' busy schedules, full lives and varying tastes, getting all three may seem trying at times, but that's where natural whey protein powder and green drinks come in. Most of us are aware that natural whey protein powder shakes provide an outstanding source of natural lean protein, but did you know that green vegetables are one of the best sources of unprocessed carbs and that green powder drinks, like Greenergy, are chock-full of these greens? In fact, just two scoops of Greenergy green juice powder provides the same green nutrients as five servings of veggies! Excellent, right? Especially when you just can't eat another salad or broccoli floret or don't have time to prepare a meal (green powder drinks just need water added or you can add green powder straight to your protein shake!). But before we talk about how fantastic superfood greens are as a complement to natural whey protein powder, let's quickly review why it's so important to our bodies and minds to get the big three at every meal – because that’s really why we need both protein AND greens…
Protein, fats and carbs work together to provide complete nutrition that fully nourishes our bodies.
Here's how it works. Carbs provide glucose which is the one and only source of fuel for our brains and bodies, and the protein and fats help to metabolize the carbs efficiently. This means that natural protein and fats help release the glucose slowly into our bodies. If we eat only carbs without the protein and fats, we get a quick sugar rush and then crash. Our bodies go into emergency starvation mode, and everything we eat gets stored as fat. We can't efficiently provide our bodies with energy. We feel sluggish. We can't think straight. We feel hungry and unsatisfied and tend to overeat junk during the day. But eat all three, and we feel satisfied, have lots of energy, and can think clearly, and our bodies have what they need to function properly. So, given that we need all three nutritional sources at each meal, natural whey protein shakes are a no-brainer when it comes to protein, especially at breakfast. But now, what about those carbs?
Getting the Best Nutrient-Rich Unprocessed Carbs with Greens
Most of us tend to grab a bagel, muffin or toast for breakfast and have often have fries and a sandwich for lunch or even dinner. These are often made of white processed flour and sugar that provide no carb nutrients and only make us retain water. Green drinks, on the other hand, offer an easy, tasty, unprocessed carb choice. Plus the green vegetables, spirulina, barley greens, wheatgrass, green tea extract, and other concentrated green superfoods in green drink powder contain high quantities of antioxidants and phyto-nutrients that help purify the blood, aid digestion and elimination, enhance the immune system and boost energy.
So why is green food powder such a great complement to Natural Whey protein powder? It’s a no-brainer!
Simply stated, green drink powder provides the delicious, easy-to-digest, zero-prep unprocessed carbs and Natural Whey protein powder provides the easily absorbed, tasty, zero-prep lean protein, and when mixed together (with some nuts added in), they make for a delicious shake or smoothie that is the ultimate full-nutrient meal for you and your family. So why wouldn't you throw in a couple of scoops of Greenergy when you make your morning smoothie or protein drink meal?

2-Step Natural Whey Protein Powder Shake Plus Greens Recipe
Ideally, we should all have a Natural Whey Protein Shake with green drink powder for breakfast every day to start us off. A Natural Whey Protein Shake gives us the perfect balance for optimal health and energy, gets our metabolism going efficiently, and fuels our brains so we can think, learn, work, and create efficiently. This shake is also perfect for lunch, post-workout recovery drink, between-meal snack, and any time you are too busy to prepare a full meal.
Step #1 -- Add the following ingredients to a blender:
- 1 - 2 scoops of Natural Whey protein powder
- 2 scoops Greenergy green powder
- 1/4 cup pre-ground Omega Seed Mix or 1 tablespoon of Raw Omega Oil
- 1 - 1 1/2 cups liquid (pure water, non-fat milk, plain soy milk or plain almond milk)
- 1 cup fresh or frozen organic fruit
- Ice (for a thicker, creamier shake)
You can also add essences and spices to taste. Vanilla, mint, almond essence, cinnamon, all spice, nutmeg, and ginger are some great options to try.
Step #2 -- Blend to desired smoothness and enjoy. This recipe makes a 32-ounce shake. Drink the full shake for a complete meal. Drink half for a smaller, kid-size meal.
All-Star Greenergy Plus Protein Shake: More Green Drink Benefits For You and Your Family
Let’s review ALL the reasons to add Greenergy to your daily nutritional plan:
- Greens on the go. Eating fresh, organic greens is not always easy for those on the go, but it's completely critical to our health. Green drinks offer an easy, tasty alternative.
- Veggie variety. Sometimes you just don't want another salad or broccoli floret, not to mention that veggies aren't the natural favorite at breakfast time. Mixing superfood greens into a shake makes you feel like you're eating dessert rather than brussel sprouts.
- Get kids to eat their veggies. Many kids aren't too excited about more salad or broccoli florets either, but a tasty protein and greens shake that seems more like desert than veggies is always a hit.
- Antioxidants. Many of the ingredients in green drinks are nutrient rich antioxidants -- green tea extract, spirulina, wheat grass powder, barley grass powder, spinach powder, broccoli powder, to name a few. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals (loose canon cells) that get in the way of normal cell functioning and growth and can lead to cancer, heart disease and even premature aging.
- Morning carbs -- brain power and metabolism boosters. Getting your greens in the morning with a Natural Whey Shake is a great way to give your body and brain the energy it needs to function properly, helping you think clearly and maintain a lean body. Studies show that kids and adults alike do better at school and work when they eat a fully nutritional breakfast.
- Reduces appetite. When you eat healthy, balanced meals, your body is able to absorb carbs steadily and burn them as energy instead of storing them as fat. Natural Whey Protein Shakes with green powder are the optimally balanced meal.
- Wards off colds and flus with an immunity boost. Most of the ingredients in green superfoods have immune-boosting properties
- Detox and clean blood. The chlorophyll in most of the power-packed green food ingredients alkalizes and cleans the blood. Having "clean blood" means that you have plenty of red blood cells to carry oxygen in (essential for brain and cell functioning) and metabolic waste out.
- Skip the coffee and still get an energy boost -- Forget those quick-fix energy drinks like Red Bull and even coffee! Green energy drink powder gives you the same energy boost without all the sugar, caffeine and other unhealthy stimulants. That means, no sugar or caffeine crash.
- Keeps your body in ideal alkaline PH state. The chlorophyll in most of the awesome green drink ingredients helps keep a healthy alkaline PH in your body. If your body gets too acidic, it's easier for inflammatory diseases to come in the picture, like heart disease, cancer, arthritis, and respiratory problems. Many foods that we regularly eat are highly acidic, like meats and milk products. We need to offset this with alkaline foods, like leafy greens, grapefruit, and some nuts and seeds. Green superfood drinks are completely alkaline and are great at restoring the PH.
