Viridian Organic Super Greens Powder (100g)

Most adults in the UK don't eat enough plants. We know it, the government nutrition guidance has been telling us for decades, and yet here we are. A daily greens powder isn't a substitute for a proper plate of vegetables, but it's a useful insurance policy for the days the salad never happens.

Viridian's Organic Super Greens Powder is the daily green-food top-up we stock at LSC for anyone wanting a clean, family-run-brand option rather than a sweetened, flavoured supermarket version.

What it is

A 100g pouch of organic super greens powder, a blend of plant-based green foods such as spirulina, wheatgrass, barley grass and other green-food sources (check the pack for the exact blend). Soil Association organic. Suitable for vegetarians and vegans. No sweeteners, no artificial flavours, no fillers.

Why a greens blend

A blend gives you a wider mineral and phytonutrient profile than a single green food on its own. Spirulina brings protein and trace minerals, wheatgrass and barley grass bring chlorophyll and a broader range of plant compounds, and additional green-food sources fill out the rest of the profile.

The result is a daily nutrient-dense addition for routines where eating six varied portions of veg a day isn't realistic.

Who it suits

• Adults whose daily plant intake is lower than they'd like
• Active people wanting a daily nutrient top-up alongside training and proper food
• Plant-based eaters using greens as part of their daily routine
• Long-time Viridian users
• Vegetarians and vegans

If you have a known sensitivity to any of the green foods on the ingredient list (some people react to wheat or barley grass even though the gluten content of the leaf is minimal), check the label first. If you're on prescription medication, particularly anticoagulants, check with your GP because some green foods are high in vitamin K.

Why Viridian

Viridian's greens powder is unsweetened, unflavoured, organic, and packed without the fillers and bulking agents that turn up in cheaper mass-market greens products. The brand has built its name in UK independent health shops on this kind of clean, transparent formulation.

We stock the Viridian range in full at LSC because it's what customers ask for when they want a no-nonsense daily greens powder.

How to use it

Usual guidance is one teaspoon daily, stirred into water, smoothie, juice or yoghurt. The taste is grassy and earthy, which is what plant-based greens taste like (Viridian don't mask it with sweeteners). If the taste is a barrier, blend it into a smoothie with banana, berries or apple.

100g is roughly a month's daily use depending on serving size.

What pairs with it

Greens powder sits well alongside a daily mineral routine, a Vitamin D3, a B-complex (B12 contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and reduction of tiredness and fatigue), and a quality plant oil.

Browse the Vitamins & Minerals range and the Energy & Focus goal collection for the wider routine. The Spirulina capsules and Prebio Fibre Powder are natural Viridian companions.
