Best greens powder to add essential nutrients to your diet

You may have spotted them sipping away on the Tube, shaking their bottles nonchalantly in meetings or flexing their flacons at your local gym, the cult of green powders is ubiquitous in London and their kelp-hued beverages have gained our attention.

We have become a nation obsessed with drinkable green powders – you only need to look to TikTok for proof. Videos of sippers flexing their forest-toned elixirs have 63.6 views on the platform.

These blended-up superfoods ensure you are consuming the essential nutrients and minerals that may be lacking in your diet and replenish your gut with the beneficial bacteria that it needs.
