"This veggies powder didn't change the flavor of my favorite smoothie recipe."
"I've tested out many brands, and most greens powders have overpowered the taste of my morning smoothie or have a rather pungent smell. This veggies powder didn't change the flavor of my favorite smoothie recipe, and I loved knowing how many sea veggies and antioxidants I was getting."*

"The powder had a very mild flavor and nice texture—not at all chalky."
"mindbodygreen's veggies powder was a game-changer after I got back home from a recent trip. My fridge was pretty sparse, but I needed some nutrients after an indulgent weekend away. In lieu of my usual spinach, I used the veggies powder and combined it with frozen berries, oat milk, hemp seeds, and a drop of vanilla, and my smoothie was delish! The powder had a very mild flavor and nice texture—not at all chalky. I'm excited to keep experimenting with it."
