Why Green Blends Are a Staple In Our House<\/h2>\n
We always try to have a nutritional blend of some kind on hand because it\u2019s all the different phytonutrients, especially in their whole food form mind you, that are responsible for pretty much all the good stuff happening in the body we\u2019re going for:<\/p>\n
Detoxification to immune modulation to positive epigenetic changes like tumor suppressor genes turning on and oncogenes turning off for instance, the kind of thing we really pay attention to, and on and on.<\/p>\n
Mind you this doesn\u2019t replace green smoothies and lots of big salads and all that for us that\u2019s just called how you\u2019re supposed to eat, BUT, this does provide a practical way to get a wide variety of these different nutrients into us on a regular basis that we wouldn\u2019t necessarily otherwise be getting.<\/p>\n
And also keep in mind this isn\u2019t just modern-day excess or something like that wanting to get all of this goodness into us.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s pretty well accepted that hunter gatherer societies actually consumed HUNDREDS more times the variety of plants than we do today just walking around eating from the landscape wherever they went.<\/p>\n
So really this is just a convenient way to get all the magic that The Good Lord intended for us to be taking in to thrive on a daily basis.<\/p>\n
Why We Love Organic Supergreens<\/a> from Paleo Valley<\/h2>\n
Speaking of hunter gatherers, that brings us to the product at hand from Paleo Valley, Organic Supergreens.<\/p>\n
This one\u2019s really interesting in that their big claim to fame on the product is that it does not contain any cereal grasses. Cereal grasses are grasses that produce a grain like wheat grass or barley grass that are prevalent in a lot of these types of powders. Even though the grasses don\u2019t have gluten itself they do have a lectin with some properties called wheat germ agglutinin so if you are dealing with celiac or a gluten sensitivity of some kind that is certainly something to take into consideration.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m not quite convinced at this point that everyone needs to be avoiding these grasses myself, but, in the name of variety it\u2019s nice to know that what might have been the primary ingredient in the last drink you had is nowhere to be found in this one and you\u2019re getting meaningful amounts of other types of foods.<\/p>\n

\nDigestive Enzymes<\/p>\nNineteen superfoods in all. I like the ones with forty or fifty in there for the variety but then I wonder just how meaningful any one of those ingredients are. On the flipside you know you\u2019re getting good quantities of the blends with six or seven ingredients, but then you\u2019re losing some of the variety too. So nineteen does seem like a good number.<\/p>\n
How Does Organic Supergreens Taste?<\/h3>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/thesternmethod.com\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Paleo-Valley-Organic-Super-Greens1.jpg\")
<\/p>\nPretty good! You wouldn\u2019t know it\u2019s a bunch of greens and other ingredients that don\u2019t necessarily taste incredible. It\u2019s got a slight minty taste to it.<\/p>\n
Ryder likes just about everything because his taste buds basically crave healthy stuff as its all he\u2019s been eating but I\u2019m pretty sure most kids would happily put this down.<\/p>\n
And if you mix the Organic Supergreens into a smoothie, juice, etc. you really don\u2019t notice it one way or the other\u2026 but you have just supercharged that beverage!<\/p>\n
Most importantly the only flavoring ingredients here are completely natural organic fruit extracts, that\u2019s it. That\u2019s a big deal!<\/p>\n
